Re: [Axiom-mail] Getting numerical values from a closed form integration?

For example: integrate(sin(2*x),x=-%pi/3..4*%pi/7) The answer is in closed form, but I can't convert it to a float. At least: integrate(sin(2*x),x=-%pi/3..4*%pi/7)::Float Try numeric integrate(sin(2*x),x=-%pi/3..4*%pi/7) I get 0.20048... Don't you find a strong typed CAS is nice
