Integral(2/(x^2 - 1), (x, 0, 1))
Detail solution

  1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

      PiecewiseRule(subfunctions=[(ArctanRule(a=1, b=1, c=-1, context=1/(x**2 - 1), symbol=x), False), (ArccothRule(a=1, b=1, c=-1, context=1/(x**2 - 1), symbol=x), x**2 > 1), (ArctanhRule(a=1, b=1, c=-1, context=1/(x**2 - 1), symbol=x), x**2 < 1)], context=1/(x**2 - 1), symbol=x)

    So, the result is:

  2. Now simplify:

  3. Add the constant of integration:

The answer is:
