f(x(t)) dx/dt dt can easily be integrated using the substitution

are very rusty, but I get the feeling that a combination of
substitution and integration by parts might work.

It depends on what f(x) and x(t) are.

For instance, if f(x) = e^(-x^2), then there's no hope of integrating.
(You would have to numerically approximate it, use power series, or
some such technique.)

I'm very interested in the case f(x) = 1/r^3, x(t) completely
arbitary.
