integrating from $\frac1{2014}$ to $2014$? – RGS Jan 15 '17 at 01:27

And what did you try? Why can't you do it? Where do you get stuck? – RGS Jan 15 '17 at 01:28

Here's a hint: $\arctan(x) + \arctan(1/x) = \pi/2$ for $x > 0$. Try adding the integral to itself (perhaps with some changes to it by substitution).

No, we can't assume arctan(x) is constant - only that arctan(x) + arctan(1/x) is. But, notice that $\int_{1/2014}^{2014} \arctan(x) dx + \int_{1/2014}^{2014} \arctan(1/x) dx = \int_{1/2014}^{2014} \arctan(x) + \arctan(1/x) dx$ – Chris Jan 15 '17 at 01:47
