Hi,

I'd like to ask why the first expression below takes so much longer to finish than the second. They look same to me.

\!\(N[â?«\_1\%â??\((x - 1)\)^ .5\ \(1\/\(1 + Exp[\((x - 
          2)\)/2]\)\) \[DifferentialD]x]\)

\!\(NIntegrate[\((x - 1)\)^ .5\ 1\/\(1 + Exp[\((x - 2)\)/2]\), {x, 1, â??}]\)

And I'd like to know if this apply to other numerical functions.

Thanks a lot,

Zheng
