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....

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.
