Calculating Integral
f(x) = e**(-x) * log(x+1);
uu = integral(f, (x, 0, oo));
uu.n(digits=18)
why this dont work?

As far as I can tell, this seems to be a bug. uu
evaluates to the expression e*expintegral_e(1, 1)
and the expintegral_e
function doesn't seem to be defined. There is a exponential_integral_1
function which seems to give the correct answer:
sage: N(e*exponential_integral_1(1), digits=18)
0.596347362323194107
This agrees with WolframAlpha.
Yup, @benjaminfjones is right on track.

We seem to be missing quite a few of the functions at The Maxima special function listing. Fixing this is Ticket #11143.

How do I understand the result of symbolic integrals
