Elliptic Integral Bug?

asked 6 years ago

Hi,

How did Sage come up with a nice answer when being asked to compute the following elliptic integral of the second kind? 1(1/2)sin2(x)dx

Using integral(f(x),x), SageMathCell returns: 248(sin(3x)sin(x))

Here is the link.

Is it my maths, or is it bug?

Thanks, Julien

Typical problem with integration using maxima package abs_integrate.. Not the first one..
