TheTI-92 will also do the integral though it takes a while. In fact, at a
TI-92 short course last summer, one of the participants had never worked
with any graphing calculator, much less a 92. When told it could do
integrals, he first assumed that meant numerical integrals. After seeing
that it could do symbolic indefinite integrals, he announced that he would
only be impressed if it could do this particular integral. A few minutes
later, he was impressed.
