[GiNaC-list] [GiNaC-devel] Symbolic Integration of exponential functions

[Matthias Reis]

Dear Matthias,

thanks a lot for your work. However, I have implemented a numeric
workaround that does not need symbolic integration a few weeks ago.
Since this approach works and I am running out of time with my PhD, I
will unfortunately not be able to look further into ginac. At some point
in the future maybe.

Best regards and thanks again,
Matthias
