May 8, 2011 at 21:26 comment added J. M. isn't a mathematician @Jacques (sorry for the late reply): That's a bit sobering... thanks.
Apr 27, 2011 at 12:49 comment added Jacques Carette @J.M.: as far as I know, David's paper that you refer to above is the 'most recent' on this topic.
Aug 2, 2010 at 2:07 comment added J. M. isn't a mathematician It does not seem to have been mentioned in the paper linked above that one reason behind the mishandling of these trigonometric integrals is in mishandling the Weierstrass substitution. I have seen the following paper: doi.acm.org/10.1145/174603.174409 but I have no idea what the state of the art is nowadays for such things.
Mar 3, 2010 at 21:36 comment added Jacques Carette Correct: this is an unsolved problem. There is no theory of 'analytic' integration in closed-form, the only theory that exists is purely algebraic. And these algebraic theories all ignore branch cuts.
