two application of intergration by parts first time:

u=(Inx)^2
du= (2Inx)/x
v=x
dv=dx

I= x(Inx)^2 - Int 2(Inx) dx

then
r = Inx
dr = 1/x dx
s = x
ds = dx

I = x(Inx)^2 - 2[Inx/x - Int 1.dx]
=x(Inx)^2 - 2xInx + 2x + C EDIT: forgot the constant '2' on the x term

I((logx)^2) = x(logx)^2 -I(((2x(logx)/x)
= x(logx)^2 -I(2logx)
= x(logx)^2 -((2xlogx) -I(2x/x)))
= x(logx)^2 -2xlogx + 2x

so to integrate call (logx)^2 u, and 1 v'
then, as evident in line 2 you have to do it again, this same call logx u and 2 v'
