in the online sage I typed: var('x,a,b') integrate(1/sqrt(b+a/x), x)
And it answered: Traceback (click to the left of this block for traceback) ... Is b positive or negative?
Of course b is positive but there is no way to answer it's question or to predefine b as positive, so far as I know. so I used b^2 and got a question "Is b > 0?". Well yes b>0. So is a.
a and b are part of a physics problem. They change with the initial conditions. This is my first day with Sage. I have no idea what trace back is good for.
I don't know how to use this thing so send a copy of the answer to me at august04@frontier.com.
