      From: fateman@gmail.com              For Maxima, put at the beginning,       assume(a>0,b>0,.....)              Probably correct       since the test would use -a instead of a for negative.              there might still be questions like is b^2-4*a*c >0.       This is useful to get the answer in the most       appropriate form, logs vs arc-trig functions, most       often.              But I hope this does not affect thousands of examples.              I am unfamiliar with sagemath, but Maxima does not       require var( ...) declarations.              I do not know if sagemath allows Maxima's assume.              constructing and posting somewhere a batch job directly for       Maxima might encourage some Maxima fan to put in any       additional assume() commands, and maybe find other       fixes. Note that Rubi-based tests do not cover       more esoteric functions, an area of some interest       to people doing algorithmic (or table-lookup based)       indefinite and (especially) definite integration.       So the benchmark possibly does not reflect the       full sophistication of some of the systems.       RJF              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
