Perhaps there is a simpler method, but the following works. Integrate[Sin[n*Pi*(z/L)], {z, 0, L}] % /. n -> 2*k + 1 Simplify[%, k \[Element] Integers] Simplify[% /. {k -> (1/2)*(-1 + n)}] David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/ From: ab at sd.com [mailto:at2 at ads.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Is there a way in Mathematica to evaluate an expression assuming some varialbe is Odd integer, for example in below integral how can i tell it that n is odd integer in the Assumptions section of FullSimplify command or the integral itself??: In[35]:= Integrate[Sin[n*Pi*(z/L)], {z, 0, L}] FullSimplify[%, n \[Element] Integers && n >= 0 && L \[Element] Reals && L > 0 && z \[Element] Reals]
