Yes, this was very intentional. I may need some help gathering up some
nice
motivating examples if this is accepted.
One motivating example for me is the integration of products of
functions over areas and volumes. For finite elements, you'll get
products of pairs of trial functions (usually polynomials). It's even
more useful for products of trig functions. Performing the integration
of any of theses is easy enough with numerical integration, but it's
much more efficient to calculate the integrals symbolically and then
perform the evaluation for each element.
Cheers,
Tim.
