Does anyone have any ideas on how to attack this:
$$\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \frac{\arctan^2 \left ( \sin^2 x \right )}{\sin^2 x} \, {\rm d}x$$
I cannot think of something that could work. Wolfram Alpha does not evaluate it either.

$\begingroup$ What makes you think there even is a solution in elementary functions? $\endgroup$ – Alfred Yerger Sep 10 '16 at 19:20

$\begingroup$ This integral was proposed by M.L.Glasser so I guess it has. I don't know where it was proposed though neither do I know any other details. $\endgroup$ – Tolaso Sep 10 '16 at 19:21
