Definite and Indefinite Integrals

SAGE can compute both definite integrals like ∫01dxx3+1  and indefinite integrals such as ∫dxx3+1 :

sage: print integrate(1/(x^3+1),x)
                                         2 x - 1
                       2            atan(-------)
                  log(x  - x + 1)        sqrt(3)    log(x + 1)
                - --------------- + ------------- + ----------
                         6             sqrt(3)          3
sage: integrate(1/(x^3+1), x, 0, 1)
(6*log(2) + sqrt(3)*pi)/18 + sqrt(3)*pi/18

More examples:

sage: integrate(1/x^2, x, 1, infinity)
1
sage: f = x^3 
sage: f.integral()
x^4/4
sage: integral(x^3,x)
x^4/4
sage: f = x*sin(x^2)
sage: integral(f,x)
-cos(x^2)/2
