Solution of Friedmann equation w/ Cosmological Constant

[nicksauce]

Homework Statement

Solve for the age of the universe as a function of scale factor in a cosmology with \Omega_{M}=0.3, \Omega_{\Lambda}=0.7.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

(\frac{\dot{a}}{a})^2=H_0^2(0.3a^{-3}+0.7)

\frac{da}{a\sqrt{0.3a^{-3}+0.7}}=H_0dt

At this point, Maple seems unable to do this integral, and I am stuck. Any tips?Errr... Nevermind, I got it to work eventually.
