   Because the denominator doesn't change when x is replaced by 1-x, one   
   may use ASIN(SQRT(x)) + ASIN(SQRT(1-x)) = pi/2:   
      
   INT(ASIN(SQRT(x))/(x^4 - 2*x^3 + 2*x^2 - x + 1), x, 0, 1)   
      
    = 1/2*INT(ASIN(SQRT(x))/(x^4 - 2*x^3 + 2*x^2 - x + 1)   
    + ASIN(SQRT(1-x))/((1-x)^4 - 2*(1-x)^3 + 2*(1-x)^2 - (1-x) + 1),   
    x, 0, 1)   
      
    = pi/4*INT(1/(x^4 - 2*x^3 + 2*x^2 - x + 1), x, 0, 1)
