What do you think of this?

Yikes... You'd better ignore that attached image. The site doesn't seem to be too good at resolving those fractions (?).

If you try to get the integral of 3 * (x - e^-x)² * (1 + e^-x) the result looks really ugly...

Try this site, instead:

You have to pay if you want a full step-by-step explanation for the integration. Without a password, it still shows the end result.

calc101.com makes the solution to your original question look a lot better (although still not quite as simple as you hoped):

Originally posted by Stefan Härtel I can't tell you exactly what the scenario will be about because that'd be telling too much. But I can tell you that it's an adventure scenario set in pre-Colombian Ecuador. I've got some very cool ideas so far, but I don't want to tell because that'd spoil too many surprises.

I'm unable to guess what your scen will be about, but what I can guess for sure is that I'll have MUCH pleausre playing it!

The graphical extract looks great, BTW!

the pic looks wonderful Stefan! good work

Ummmmm . . . . .

An official "no comment" on the mathematics from hell, Stefan.

Sounds like an exploration/conquest scenario about the rise of the Inca empire? The Chimu culture?

Alternatively, if it's about the European exploration, then it could be either Pizzarro's or Orelana's expeditions into the region. The term "pre-Columbian" seems to deny this last guess, however.

I know!

The scen is about conquistadors using advanced mathematics to defeat the Incas!

You'd play the Incas in that one, no doubt!

But... no. It's neither about the Incas or the Europeans (not even the Chimu).
