Hi, I don't use mathematica but the other day I wanted to solve an integral and I'm out of practice so I went on-line to a mathematica based integrator. http://integrals.wolfram.com/index.jsp I typed in 1/sqrt(x^2-b^2) this should have an integral of cosh^-1(x/ b). Ok, so it didn't recognize cosh but its answer was (I think) wrong. it comes back with ln(x+sqrt(x^2-b^2)) it seems to have overlooked a quotient of b in the log. Is this a general problem with mathematica or just the on-line version or is it me?
