Hi,

I want to optimize an integral of the form     over the parameter y. A closed-form anti-derivative (wrt to x) for F(x, y) is not necessarily known, so I don't mind non-exact results obtained numerically. Is there a way to accomplish this in Maple?

Hi all. This is porbably a very elementary question. Maple outputs something of the form  " X +  0. I" after a computation, where X is a number. I'm confused as to what 0. I is. My first thought is that it's 0.1 * I, but then squaring X +  0. I  gives back X^2 + 0. I instead of the expected X^2 - 0. 01 + 0.2 X I. Could someone explain to me what Maple means by that? Thanks!

X +  0. I
