Mathematica cannot know you intended Log[x] instead of defining a new function when you type log[x]. If I wanted, I could define functions as ln[x_]:=Log[x] log[x_]:=Log[10,x] And clearly if I had done so Mathematica would integrate correctly and be very incorrect to say "Incorrect format" when I type log[x] -- To reply via email subtract one hundred and nine
