1. **State the problem:** We need to evaluate the integral $$\int \frac{u}{u^2 - 2u + 1} \, du$$.
2. **Simplify the denominator:** Notice that $$u^2 - 2u + 1 = (u - 1)^2$$.
3. **Rewrite the integral:** $$\int \frac{u}{(u - 1)^2} \, du$$.
4. **Use substitution:** Let $$t = u - 1$$, so $$u = t + 1$$ and $$du = dt$$.
5. **Rewrite the integral in terms of $$t$$:** $$\int \frac{t + 1}{t^2} \, dt = \int \left( \frac{t}{t^2} + \frac{1}{t^2} \right) dt = \int \left( \frac{1}{t} + t^{-2} \right) dt$$.
6. **Integrate term-by-term:**
$$\int \frac{1}{t} dt = \ln|t|$$
$$\int t^{-2} dt = \int t^{-2} dt = -t^{-1} = -\frac{1}{t}$$
7. **Combine results:** $$\ln|t| - \frac{1}{t} + C$$.
8. **Back-substitute $$t = u - 1$$:** $$\ln|u - 1| - \frac{1}{u - 1} + C$$.
**Final answer:** $$\int \frac{u}{u^2 - 2u + 1} \, du = \ln|u - 1| - \frac{1}{u - 1} + C$$.
