If we use the substitution u = \tan x, then du = \sec^2 {x}\ dx. If you try substituting just u and du into the integrand, though, you'll notice that there's a \sec^2x left over that we have to deal with.

To get rid of this problem, use the identity \tan^2 x + 1 = \sec^2 x and substitute in the left side of the identity for the extra \sec^2x, as shown:

\int\limits^{\pi/6}_0 {tan^2 x \ sec^4 x} \, dx
\int\limits^{\pi/6}_0 {tan^2 x \ (tan^2 x + 1) \ sec^2 x} \, dx

From there, we can substitute in u and du, and then evaluate:

\int\limits^{\pi/6}_0 {tan^2 x \ (tan^2 x + 1) \ sec^2 x} \, dx
\int\limits^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}_0 {u^2(u^2 + 1)} \, du
\int\limits^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}_0 {u^4 + u^2} \, du
= \left.\frac{u^5}{5} + \frac{u^3}{3}\right|_0^\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}
= (\frac{(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})^5}{5} + \frac{(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})^3}{3}) - (\frac{(0)^5}{5} + \frac{(0)^3}{3})
= \frac{1}{45\sqrt{3}} + \frac{1}{9\sqrt{3}} = \frac{6}{45\sqrt{3}} = \bf \frac{2}{15\sqrt{3}}
