Yes, I could go to an entirely numerical procedure. In maxima, doing 
collocation points would probably not be too difficult.

My problem is simple enough that if I am willing to wait a long time the 
Galerkin projections can be done exactly via maxima's integrate. I 
thought perhaps if I can keep it from expanding things into basic 
polynomials then I can use the orthogonal properties and much simplify 
the calculation of the Galerkin projection.

I will do numerical procedures next if I can not get a symbolic form for 
the Galerkin projections.
