Hi - I recently tried to persuade Mathematica to do the following definite integral, Integrate[ Exp[-x^2] 1/(1 + Exp[ x]),{x,0,Infinity}] and it gives the answer Log[x] 1 + Log[x] PolyGamma[0, 1 + ------] - PolyGamma[0, ----------] 2 2 --------------------------------------------------- 2 which depends on x, so presumably something is wrong here! I am assuming this is a bug - has anyone else seen it? Does it show up in later versions of the kernel than 3.0? Richard
