Thanks Robert, I did see on the Maxima discussion list back on February 20 that CVS Maxima could do these integrals. However, I checked Maxima 5.18.1 on my Mac laptop and the following returns unevaluated: integrate((x^m * (1 - x)^n * (a + b*x + c*x^2))/(1 + x^2), x,0,1); Am I doing something wrong? As I recall, version 5.17.1 asked questions about the parameters. I've been a fan of Maxima for years and have long recommended it to folks who have wanted a computer algebra system but didn't want to pay for Maple or Mathematica. This is the second time I've posted a problem integral to this group only to have you report that it's fixed (or being fixed). Thanks a lot for your work on Maxima. Of course, there will always be problems that one tool can do that another cannot. I, for one, will happily continue to use all types of mathematical software.
