No solution with nonlinear chained integrands?

[Hans S.]

Prime:
int(cos(2*x^2)dx --> returns term

Wolfram Alpha:
integrate cos*(2x^2) --> solution

int(cos(2x^2)) returns a closed form in Xcas ... be patient!

Which means next major release (if any is made) of the Prime software would contain that capability.

As an HP employee I am not authorized except in very rare cases to make "forward looking" statements. Hence, I must only talk in theoretical cases and with vagueness regarding specific details. Saying "should there be a release that would most likely be in it" and "feature X will be in release Y which comes on date Z" are very different statements.

Tim,
thank you very much: Please be assured that I understand your point of view absolutely. Beeing sometimes in contact with our customers (and with my providers), my self-restriction could also be out of this world.
My answer belongs to the realm of my bittersweet attitude concerning communication as a complex entity: I didn'd understand what I answered to your question I was not listenig to.

I appreciate your patience and your engagement very much,

Hans

P. S. Along with the "please be kind", I had the swing of that Count Basie-Frank Sinatra record (the life version) in mind.
