I don't envision any autodetection or anything like that. What I envision is that the integrate command has an option algorithm='maple', say, that does the integral transparently using maple, e.g., sage: integrate(sin(x)*cos(x)*x) (sin(2*x) - 2*x*cos(2*x))/8 sage: integrate(sin(x)*cos(x)*x, algorithm='maple') (sin(2*x) - 2*x*cos(2*x))/8 sage: integrate(sin(x)*cos(x)*x, algorithm='mathematica') (sin(2*x) - 2*x*cos(2*x))/8 sage: integrate(sin(x)*cos(x)*x, algorithm='sympy') (sin(2*x) - 2*x*cos(2*x))/8 sage: integrate(sin(x)*cos(x)*x, algorithm='axiom') (sin(2*x) - 2*x*cos(2*x))/8 - William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
