Dear all,
I had a problem with integration and this is the smallest problem I could find
that fails. I want to integrate P:
P : exp(2^(3/2)*x^2 - sqrt(2)*x^2);
integrate(P,x);
but then maxima says:
`quotient` by `zero`
If I contract the exponent to sqrt(2)*x^2 using radcan then it will integrate,
but I don't know if this always solves 'the problem', whatever that may be
(well, some intermediate expression gets zero and ratinvert fails in
rat3b.lisp).
Best,
NB
