How to integrate $\int \frac{x^{13}\ dx}{x^5 + 1}$ We get this problem from our teacher today. I only wish that it was $x^{14}$ in the numerator, so we can use substitution method:
$$\int \dfrac{x^{13}\ dx}{x^5 + 1}$$
I can't find way to integrate this. Please help me out to solve this seeming simple integral.

E.g. with $\frac{x^{13}}{x^5+1}=\sum\limits_{k=0}^\infty (-1)^k x^{5k+13}$ you can integrate easily for $|x|<1$. 

You can simplify with $x^{13}=(x^8-x^3)(x^5+1)+x^3$.

The useful link of user 170039 gives you the result for $\int\frac{x^{3}}{x^5+1}$ and shows how complicated it becomes.

If you like to use the proposal of boaz, then you need $\int\frac{ex+f}{ax^2+bx+c}=$
$$=\frac{e}{2a}\ln|ax^2+bx+c|+\frac{2af-be}{a\sqrt{4ac-b^2}}\cdot\arctan\frac{2ax+b}{\sqrt{4ac-b^2}}+C$$
for $4ac-b^2>0$ and 
$$=\frac{e}{2a}\ln|ax^2+bx+c|+\frac{2af-be}{2a\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}\cdot\ln\frac{2ax+b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2ax+b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}+C$$
for $4ac-b^2<0$.
