Efficient Integral Solving Software for Step-by-Step Solutions - Try Now!"

[chmate]

Hello,

Is there any software which solves integrals STEP BY STEP?

Thank you.

All computer algebra systems solve integrals step-by-step, but they just use different steps to most humans. For integrals yielding only compositions of elementary functions, most use a version of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risch_Algorithm" .

http://www.wolframalpha.com/" has a "Show Steps" button for most elementary math problems which I think is just a very clever set of replacement rules (pattern recognition). Note that Mathematica (which underlies WA) does not actually use these steps in the calculation - they are an extra added on top.

If I'm not mistaken, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TK_Solver" allows you to view iterations, if you so desired.

It's not cheap, though.
