Talk:Symbolic integration

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A lot of the information in this article is covered in antiderivative. I think it should either be merged or atleast cleaned up, as the current article is not in formal encyclopedic tone and has some grammatical errors. RyanC. 08:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I disagree with the merge. This article is on symbolic integration in the field of computers, not the general mathematical question of fionding an asntiderivative. RJFJR 17:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I removed the expand and clean-up tags. The article looks good to me in it's current form. The deletion of the lengthy paragraph was a good move in my opinion; that information is covered in antiderivative. RyanC. 05:43, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moved from article space

(We say usually because, while the lion's share of functions of a single variable can be broken down into combinations of approximately twenty standard forms, there are functions with non-numeric exponents--x to the x power, say--that must be attacked via the implicit differentiation approach that is not necessarily straightforward to perform by digital computer.)

This is too long and detailed. Just say usually. RJFJR 17:11, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
