Hi,

Solving a simple differential equation:
ifun = First[
   u /. NDSolve[{u''[t] + u[t] == 0, u[0] == 0, u'[0] == 1},
     u, {t, 0, \[Pi]}]]

returns the InterpolationFunction object, as expected. I can integrate  
this function (and obtain another InterpolatingFunction to be plotted,  
etc.) by:

Integrate[ifun[t], t]

1. Why doesn't the following produce an InterpolatingFunction in the same way?

Integrate[ifun[t]^2, t]

2. How can I normalize the solutions found using NDSolve?  
Norm[ifunt[t]] doesn't work...

Thanks for any help.
