#5 Integrate (1/sqrt(t),t) does not work RC4

[Anonymous]

Hi there Raphael.

Thanks for the recent updates to meditor. It would be
nice if meditor could do:

integral(1/sqrt(t),t)

(most importantly for myself) and less importantly:

integral(1/cos(t),t)
integral(1/log(t),t)

I am using jump compiled RC4 on the Palm Zire 71 - very
nice for such a tiny computer.

Cheers

Hi Mike,

This should be a Feature Request. meditor is advertised as
dealing with integrals of rational functions only. I'm planning
to implement the remaining chapters of Manuel Bronstein's
Symbolic integration tutorial, but only after the release of
1.0final (and after I'll be able to make sense of the math,
which could take time).

The tutorial's parts are:
1-rational functions
2-algebraic functions
3-elementary functions

1/sqrt(t) registers as algebraic function, so it will come first.
1/cos(t) will need to be converted to elementary functions
manually for the integral to be computed (hence
the "elementary" command). This function and 1/log(t) will
come later.

I can't give you any time frame though.

OK. Thanks for that, I hadn't realised the distinction.
Best wishes with the release - it's looking good here!
