Cool--I changed my abs_integrate to allow a user to append new integration
methods
by appending a function name to a list of integration methods. I hooked up
your
derivative divides code; here is a short demo:
(%i2) load("abs_integrate.mac")$ (not yet in CVS)
(%i4) integrate(a*Ci(x),x);
(%o4) a*(x*Ci(x)-sin(x))
(%i5) integrate(Si(1 - x^2) * x,x);
(%o5) (cos(x^2-1)-(1-x^2)*Si(1-x^2))/2
(%i6) integrate(bessel_j(1, x/42),x);
(%o6) -42*bessel_j(0,x/42)
An option variable extra_integration_methods holds the additional methods
(intfudu is the derivative divides code):
(%i7) extra_integration_methods;
(%o7) [intfudu,signum_int]
(%i8) extra_integration_methods : [];
(%o8) []
(%i9) integrate(bessel_j(1, x/42),x);
(%o9) integrate(bessel_j(1,x/42),x)
