If you want to evaluate the integral numerically, look up quad_qags and friends. 18:15 -!- trebor_home(n=trebor@Ydb82.y.pppool.de) has joined #maxima 18:15 hi. 18:16 -!- HaraldG(n=rldprog@chello080108070152.13.11.univie.teleweb.at) has joined #maxima 19:15 -!- wally345(n=op@fgb122.internetdsl.tpnet.pl) has joined #maxima 19:17 -!- wally345(n=op@fgb122.internetdsl.tpnet.pl) has left #maxima 19:18 -!- gabkdll1(n=gabriel@dslb-088-073-130-099.pools.arcor-ip.net) has joined #maxima 19:45 -!- Prax01D(n=Prax01D@tor58-10-93-208.dynamic.rogerstelecom.net) has joined #maxima 23:53 -!- MrMeh(n=apatiya@c-76-17-97-51.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) has joined #maxima
