Has there been a resolution of the NIntegrate bug? Apparently NIntegrate produces the negative of the right answer for integrations that start and end to the left of zero -- some of the time. (Cos[x] and Sin[x^2] get the wrong result, Sin[x] is good). Since it is not clear what criterion Mathematica uses in deciding to give the wrong answer it is not clear when to use NIntegrate[] and when to use NIntegrate[*Sign[independent variable]]. And this calls into question any results for analysis that uses NIntegrate -- not a happy situation. Kurt TeKolste
