Integrate[m^2/((x - m^2)^2 + y^2), m]
mathematica gives me a complex-valued reuslt, but maple 17 gives me what I want, see the attached picture.
I tried using assumptions, but it doesn't work.
In MMA, is there a general way to do integrations in real domains, just like maple.
Can this wrap bulit-in command proposed by Todd Gayley (see: What is in your Mathematica tool bag?) do the trick?
Message[args___] := Block[{$inMsg = True, result},
"some code here";
result = Message[args];
"some code here";
result] /; ! TrueQ[$inMsg]`
Perhaps the reason for the complex-valude result is the invovled power calculation during the integration, so maybe what I really need is a general way to do symbolic power calculation in real domains?
thanks :)
