Well, I see the integrand is a quadratic (with constant term = 0) in k, so you can try integrate(exp(A*k^2 + B*k), k, -oo, oo) (Maxima, and therefore Sage, can solve that) and then substitute A and B into the result. You can get A and B via ratcoef(foo, k^2) and ratcoef(foo, k) where foo is the quadratic (I assume there's a way to call ratcoef). It's certainly reasonable to expect that Maxima should carry out that analysis on its own; it's not a bug although it is certainly a drawback. I don't know if e.g. SymPy could solve it; I didn't try. best Robert Dodier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
