>> int('cos(x^2)^2')
Warning: Explicit integral could not be found.
ans =
int(cos(x^2)^2, x)
>> int('cos(2*x^2)')
ans =
(pi^(1/2)*fresnelC((2*x)/pi^(1/2)))/2
But there is a formula cos(2y)=2cos(y)^2)-1 and in first case MATLAB can't solve..
May be MuPAD forced to solve?

I'm agree , Walter!

Apparently you have to do the substitution manually
int(simple(cos(x^2)^2))
Warning: Explicit integral could not be found.
Using the sincos version returned by
simple(cos(x^2)^2)
yields this
int(cos(2*x^2)/2 + 1/2)
ans =
x/2 + (pi^(1/2)*fresnelC((2*x)/pi^(1/2)))/4
I could not find where the sincos 'simplification' is available outside the simple command as it is in Maple...maybe this is the reason Maple returns the result automagically ;)
[edit for completeness]
int(feval(symengine, 'combine', cos(x^2)^2, 'sincos'))
ans =
x/2 + (pi^(1/2)*fresnelC((2*x)/pi^(1/2)))/4

Yes, yes...
good construction with "combine"/"sincos"
But from the technical calculation point of view (as semi-analitical and fast integration is needed)
it's not good to think about integration procedure details...
And if more complex integral occures??
To ask own intuition?

Humans are better at seeing patterns or understanding context than machines are. It is *often* the case that a human will have to apply knowledge of theoretical equivalences in order to make progress in integration.
MuPAD is not as strong as some of the other products around, but _all_ of them are missing a lot of patterns.
