Hello,
This is what happened when I tried it under maxima5.6 with gcl.
***************
(C2) integrate(1/cos(x)^2,x,0,%PI/4);
Division by 0
-- an error. Quitting. To debug this try DEBUGMODE(TRUE);)
(C3)
***************
On the other hand I built both gcl and maxima from sources on
the old UT site so if someone has a patch for this please let me
know. Thanks.
Cheers,
Lee
