Mitch- Use the correct mathematica notation, it agrees with the CRC answer: In[6]:= mitchIntegral = Integrate[xx Cos[aa xx], xx] Out[6]= \!\(Cos[aa\ xx]\/aa\^2 + \(xx\ Sin[aa\ xx]\)\/aa\) In[7]:= crcAnswer = (1/aa^2) Cos[aa xx] + (xx/aa) Sin[aa xx]; mitchIntegral == crcAnswer Out[8]= True Your input uses Cos as a variable, not a call to the cosine function. Read the book, learn about the brackets.... -matt "Mitch Berkson" <berkson at home.com> on 05/03/2001 10:23:11 PM cc: Subject: [mg28663] [mg28647] Simple indefinite integral disagrees with table The Mathematica solution to the indefinite integral below doesn't agree with that found in my CRC tables. Integrate[xx Cos (aa xx), xx] = (1/3) aa Cos xx^3 The CRC table gives: (1/aa^2) Cos (aa xx) + (xx/aa) Sin (aa xx) The Mathematica solution doesn't look right. Thanks for any help.
