Just tell me of any errors, apart from missing the + C.

, simplify
sin^2 x to 1/2 (1-cos2x)
cos ^2 x to 1/2(1+ cos 2x)

Then becomes easier

For the first one, i guess you could use t-substitution. cant think of a better method at the moment.

[maths]let\,\,t=\tan x\\dt=\sec^2xdx=(1+t^2)dx\\dx=\frac{dt}{1+t^2}\\\\\int \frac{1+\sin^2x}{1+\cos^2x}dx\\=\int \left ( \frac{1+\frac{t^2}{1+t^2}}{1+\frac{1}{1+t^2}} \right ).\frac{dt}{1+t^2}\\=\int \frac{2t^2+1}{(t^2+2)(t^2+1)}dt\\$Then do partial fractions$[/maths]

nah would take too long, you're previous method was good though. :)
