The <em>int</em> operator performs analytic integration on a variety of 
functions.

<em>int</em>(&lt;expression&gt;,&lt;kernel&gt;)

&lt;expression&gt; can be any scalar expression. involving polynomials, log 
functions, exponential functions, or tangent or arctangent expressions. 
<em>int</em> attempts expressions involving error functions, dilogarithms 
and other trigonometric expressions. Integrals involving algebraic 
extensions (such as square roots) may not succeed. &lt;kernel&gt; must be a

</TT></PRE><P>Note that REDUCE couldn't handle the last integral with its defaul
t 
integrator, since the integrand involves a square root. However, 
the integral can be found using the 
<A HREF=r37_0265.html>algint</A> package. 
Alternatively, you could add a rule using the 
<A HREF=r37_0199.html>let</A> statement 
to evaluate this integral. 
<P>
<P>
The arbitrary constant of integration is not shown. Definite integrals can 
be found by evaluating the result at the limits of integration (use 

<A HREF=r37_0330.html>rounded</A>) and subtracting the lower from the higher. Ev
aluation can 
be easily done by the 
<A HREF=r37_0182.html>sub</A> operator. 
<P>
<P>
When <em>int</em> cannot find an integral it returns an expression 
involving formal <em>int</em> expressions unless the switch 

<A HREF=r37_0288.html>failhard</A> has been set. If not all of the expression 
can be integrated, the switch 
<A HREF=r37_0311.html>nolnr</A> controls whether a partially 
integrated result should be returned or not.
