Well, you'd have to read the code for the integration routine to see
what functions are called. Then you could do something like :lisp
(trace f1 f2 f3 f4 ...) to trace the calls to the functions f1, f2, f3,
f4,....
This is mostly likely not what you want. (But it what someone would
want if they wanted to understand why maxima was computing an integral
incorrectly.)
What exactly do *you* want to see? Remember, maxima most likely isn't
doing integration the way it would be taught in calculus classes. In
particular, I think maxima almost never does integration by parts.
