integration - Evaluate limntoinftysumni=1left(cos2left(fracpiinright)right)fracpiin

Evaluate limnni=1(cos2(πin))πin




My answer is \int\limits_0^1{\pi x\cos^2(\pi x)dx}
but I do not know how to solve this. If integrating by parts, should I differentiate \cos^2(\pi x) or \pi x? Because differentiating the former leaves one with a long integral with x^2 and two trig identities, and differentiating the latter is complicated because of the x that needs to go with it in uv - \int v du. I did not get much success either with substituting u=\pi x
