The only reason I could see for that number of rules is that rubi works like a student who does not want to understand "the big picture" about integration but has a fabulous memory and remembers all the integrals from all known textbooks. But perhaps I'm wrong, that's why I was asking how it cooperates with classical methods, like partial fraction decomposition or integration by part, change of variables etc. I'm just not convinced by that number of rules and the fact that some of them are not grouped in an algorithm. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
