United States Air Force on Research on Algebraic Manipulation.

Abstract

During this period the single investigator refined his technique for symbolic integration, implemented it in a computer program in MACSYMA, and produced and presented a paper describing his achievement entitled, An experiment toward a general quadrature for second order linear ordinary differential equations by symbolic computation. A measure of his success is that he was able to integrate successfully 90% of the 542 equations in Kamke's famous table. (Since 50 of these equations involved arbitrary functions, etc., for which the programs was not designed, the success rate is more appropriately 96%.)
