Re: TI 89 and integrals
Yeah, this is really wierd...
I tried a lot of things, and it did not work... And the most interesting
thing, I guess, is that id you differentiate the thing it outputs you get
another wierd thing... Maybe it is because of the way the trig-identities
are defined in the calc?
