Abstract
We discussed in Chapter 5 the technique of computing the integral of a rational function a(x)/b(x) where a(x), b(x) are in ℝ[x] whenever the factorization of b(x) can be found. Unfortunately there is no algebraic procedure for computing the factorization of a polynomial f(x) in ℝ[x] in general, and so the factorization of f(x) must be approximated.
