Comment #3 on issue 1393 by asmeurer: integrate(x**2 * sqrt(5-x**2), x) can't do it yet
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1393

So part of my GSoC project will be to add more heuristics like this to the integrator. As Frederik noted, even if we implement the algebraic case, it will return integrals in terms of logarithms instead of inverse trig and hyperbolic trig functions, which might be preferable (though we should also make it easy to convert between the
two).

Does anyone know what general forms should be accepted for P(x) and Q(x)? Is there a nice general solution for polynomials of arbitrary degree that anyone knows of, or does it need to be quadratic (I guess I need to find a
good integral table)?
