Work Step by Step

The expression on the RHS suggests that we bring ($\csc u+\cot u)$ "into play", that is, involve it in the integrand function... $\displaystyle \csc u\cdot\frac{\csc u+\cot u}{\csc u+\cot u}=\frac{\csc^{2}u+\csc u\cot u}{\csc u+\cot u} \quad(*)$ Now, see page 135 (Summary of Differentiation Rules): $\displaystyle \frac{d}{du}(\csc u+\cot u)=-\csc u\cot u-\csc^{2}u$ which equals $(-1)\times$(numerator) of (*). So, if we substitute $\left[\begin{array}{l} t=\csc u+\cot u\\ dt=-(\csc^{2}u+\csc u\cot u)du \end{array}\right]$, we have $\displaystyle \int \displaystyle \csc udu=\int\frac{\csc^{2}u+\csc u\cot u}{\csc u+\cot u}du$ ... substitute $t=\csc u+\cot u$... $=-\displaystyle \int\frac{1}{t}dt$ = Log Rule $=-\ln|t|+C$ $=-\ln|\csc u+\cot u|+C$
