http://trac.sagemath.org/wiki/symbolics#Integrationtickets In particular, http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/2787 and http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/7763 are already open for precisely this terrible situation. No one (including me) has found the time and appropriate way to do this. Note that we even have two different numerical integration methods - GSL and Maxima - with others no doubt available somewhere in components. Anyway, I would read those to start off if you really want to do this. Secondly, I didn't even know about the params, so I guess that would be useful to advertise better once it's fixed! - kcrisman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
