If you use brakets, Mathematica takes Cos to be a constant and just multiplies: Integrate[x Cos (a x),x] -> 1/3 a Cos x^3 This is just Integrate[a x^2 Cos,x]-> 1/3 a Cos x^3 If you want Cos to be the cosine function, just use Integrate[x Cos[a x],x] -> (Cos[a x]+a x Sin[a x])/a^2 which is what you have in your table.
