My TI-92 also handled this integral with ease. OTOH, I wwould be very
interested in any problems which Derive (or Mathematica or Maple or ...)
handles but which causes the TI-92 to stumble. I haven't found many
which would be routine in the first two years of college math. I will
give a talk loosely based on this theme at the Gettysburg conference on
Derive/TI-92 and more empirical evidence either way will be appreciated.

I HAVE found some which take a long time. Last weekend I modified my
TI-92 per the instructions pointed to at TICalc.com and now it runs
about 3 times as fast.
