  10. William,
  11. The problem that you're having integrating on the HP stems from the fact
  12. that intergrals, unlike differentials, are very difficult and in some
  13. cases impossible even for human beings (as you will soon learn if you are
  14. a Calculus student).
  15.  The HP48 can only integrate by pattern matching. Look on page 429 of
  16. your user's manual to see what the HP can and can't integrate.
  17.  Here's a quick run-down. It can integrate:
  18.       Built in functions whose antiderivatives are also functions
  19.       Sums and differences of those functions
  20.       Derivatives of all built-in functions
