I calculate $int frac{dx}{sin^2x+1}=frac{1}{sqrt{2}}arctan(sqrt{2}tan x)+c.$ And then I want to calculate $$int_{0}^{pi} frac{dx}{sin^2x+1}$$. But $tanpi=tan0=0$. So it seems that $int_{0}^{pi} frac{dx}{sin^2x+1}=0$, but it's not true. Where is mistake in my justification ?

  The function you found as the integral is discontinuous at $pi/2$.

The reason of the problem is that $arctan(sqrt{2}tan x)$ has a jump but the integral should be continuous, so in the two branches of the function (splitted by the jump point), you need to pick 2 different constants to make it continuous. It also apply to similar situations.
