Hello everyone,
I've still problems to understand the behavior of noun forms, today it's
with nounify(integrate). I was expecting that 'integrate(f(x),x,a,b)
doesn't compute the integral, this is the case except if f(x)=1 :
(%i1) 'integrate(1,x,0,2);
(%o1) 2
(%i2) 'integrate(f(x),x,0,2);
2
/
[
(%o2) I f(x) dx
]
/
0
(%i3) 'integrate(cos(x),x,0,2);
2
/
[
(%o3) I cos(x) dx
]
/
0
Perhaps there is a good reason for this I don't understand, on the other
hand is there a way to obtain the more general behavior below for any
expression f(y) not depending on x :
(%i1) 'integrate(f(y),x,0,2);
2
/
[
(%o1) I f(y) dx
]
/
0
Best regards,
Philippe
