Antiderivative problem
Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2013 8:37 amHello rootmath people,
I can't seem to find the following antiderivative:
Maxima can't find it either, as tells me. And also the Wolfram Integrator outputs something very "exotic".
Is this one of the cases where there is no closed-form antiderivative?
And by the way, is there any way to easily determine if there really is no closed-form antiderivative, or do you have to keep trying to find one until you finally give up and assume that there is none?
