Dear Group, I know I can do Integrate[stuff[x],{x,0,y},Assumptions->otherstuff] to specify, for instance, that a certain parameter in my system is a positive real. Can I incorporate Assumptions into an Integral entered with the escape code [esc]dintt[esc]? For example: In[32]:= stuff[x_]:=2 x In[33]:= Integrate[k stuff[x],{x,0,1},Assumptions\[Rule]Re[k]>0] Out[33]= k The above evaluates fine, although for this toy example there is no meaning or benefit from making the Assumptions. But below things don't work. Is there a fix? In[33]:= \!\(\((\[Integral]\_0\%1 k\ stuff[x] \[DifferentialD]x)\), Assumptions \[Rule] Re[k] > 0\) \!\(\* RowBox[{\(Syntax::"tsntxi"\), \(\(:\)\(\ \)\), "\<\"\\\"\\!\\(\\(\\((\\(\ \[Integral]\\_0\\%1\\) \\(\\(k\\(\\(stuff[x]\\)\\) \\(\\(\[DifferentialD] \ x\\)\\)\\)\\))\\)\\), \\(\\(Assumptions \[Rule] \\(\\(\\(\\(Re[k]\\)\\) > \ 0\\)\\)\\)\\)\\)\\\" is incomplete; more input is needed.\\!\\(\\\"\\\"\\) \ \\!\\(\\*ButtonBox[\\\"More\[Ellipsis]\\\", ButtonStyle->\\\"RefGuideLinkText\ \\\", ButtonFrame->None, ButtonData:>\\\"General::tsntxi\\\"]\\)\"\>"}]\) \!\(\* StyleBox[ ErrorBox[\(\((\[Integral]\_0\%1 k stuff[x] \[DifferentialD]x)\), Assumptions \[Rule] Re[k] > 0\)], ShowStringCharacters->True]\) -- Curt Fischer
