I am not sure that the lack of a strong simplifier is to blame that I don't see a slope in those systems that can solve the integral. Now I was trying to compute the slope, by using a definite integral over the period instead of a indefinite integral. And I got this: The simpler problem with cos(t) gives me: (1) -> integrate(cos(t)*(2+cos(t))/100, t = 0..2*pi) (cos(2 pi) + 4)sin(2 pi) + 2 pi (1) ------------------------------- 200 Can I force sin(2 pi) getting computed as well? The more complex problem with cos(t)^(1/3) gives me: (2) -> integrate(cos(t)^(1/3)*(2+cos(t))/100, t = 0..2*pi) (2) "potentialPole" How can I tell the system that ^(1/3) should be real root?
