The point is that piecewise polynomials can be handled as generalized functions.The integral int(g(x),a,b) would be [-(x^2/2)+DD^3]^b_aI am retiring soon and perhaps will implement the useful parts of usingthe Dirac Delta function in Axiom.Ray Rogers
I don't know whether one can easily explain to a not so well trained user what a "generalised function" is and that instead of
g(x)==if x>0 then x else -x he/she should rather write g(x)= -x +2*DD^2,but I would love to see your contribution to Axiom. Hopefully you never retire from using and contributing to Axiom.
All the best Ralf
