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)

[edit] Disparity in coverage

At the moment, the coverage of symbolic integration in Integral is more extensive, even though that article designates Symbolic integration as the 'main article' and links here. Arcfrk 17:14, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
