Hello,

I would like to compute something like

(%i66) integrate(abs(x^2-4),x,-3,3);

but all I get is

 	                        3
                                /
                                [    ! 2    !
(%o66)                         I    !x  - 4! dx
                                ]
                                /
                                 - 3

Is there any known workaround?



Thanks and regards,
