module nestrad; % Simplify nested square roots.

% Author: H. Melenk.

% Modifications by: A. C. Hearn:

% The case sqrt(x+8-6*sqrt(x-1)) gave the wrong sign for say x=5.
% However, adding an abs call messed up int(1/(x**4+4*x**2+1),x).
% So for the time being, we only use this code when the argument can
% be shown to be a non-negative number.
