How would I go about showing that $int_0^1x^{-x}dx = sum_{n=1}^infty n^{-n}$



Right now my numerical analysis class is covering gaussian quadrature but we have also covered interpolation. I'm not sure how to prove this equality without using an estimation for the lefthand integral

Substitute $y=-ln x$ so the integral becomes $$int_0^1exp(-xln x)dx=sum_{mge 0}frac{(-1)^m}{m!}int_0^1 x^mln^m xdx\=sum_{mge 0}frac{1}{m!}int_0^infty y^mexp[-(m+1)y] dy=sum_{mge 0}frac{1}{(m+1)^{m+1}}.$$
