Hi everyone..
Maxima refuses to give me the result of:
integrate(sin(t)/(sin(t) + cos(t) + 2),t,0,2*%pi)...

Why??

TIA,

Maxima can do the indefinite integral. But be careful! Substitute the limits
and
subtract, you may get 0, from the wrong branches of log/atan!

I was able to confirm that taking

limit(..,t,%pi,minus)-limit(..,t,0,plus) +
limit(..,t,2*%pi,minus)-limit(..,t,%pi,plus);

gives the same result as

romberg(integrand,t,0,2*%pi),numer;
