Maxima: Troubleshooting Integrating Issues

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on troubleshooting integration issues in Maxima, highlighting the differences in syntax between Maxima and Mathematica. Users note that Maxima requires explicit multiplication operators, such as using "4*x" instead of "4x." The original poster expresses confusion despite following online examples that appear similar to their input. Suggestions emphasize the importance of adhering to Maxima's stricter syntax rules. Properly using operators is crucial for successful integration in Maxima.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here? I'm used to Mathematica because it's more syntax-lax but I guess in Maxima it's more explicit and strict. I've looked at examples online and they seem no different than what I have input, so I don't get what's wrong.

try 4*x instead of 4x ... I think you need the multiplication operator
