Not that its relevant but, since someone accused you of doing homework anyway,
I would like to state for the record that " a dog ate my Gradstein and Rhysik
Integral tables". And I would ask if anyone has one they want to get
rid of. I think some of these things you can ask for their strategies
not sure if Mathematica has a console dump of that type.
