    complex numbers?

    you can't really have a 3 dimensional system, The next one up happens to be 4 dimensional called the quarternions you have i,j and k i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = -1 ij=k jk=i ki=j ik=-j ji=-k kj=-i you lose commutativity of multiplication here though.

    x^0 = 1

    For example you can declare infinity to be greater than all real numbers Infinity > all real numbers Infinity + any number = infinity Ofcourse you won't have all the properties of real numbers, but this set up is quite useful in some contexts

    Integration Question

    it should be blatantly obvious, saying - S - sin(x)/cos^4 (x) = -ln | cos^4 (x) | is like saying S 1/x^4 = - ln |x^4| hmm you derive the table....

    Integration Question

    everything is correct up to here: - S - sin(x)/cos^4 (x) but you see.. while S f ' (x) / f (x) dx = ln | f(x) | S f ' (x) / [f (x)]^4 dx Is Not ln | [f(x)]^4 |

    Integration question

    you will have to use x=a*sec(x) now and then. for terms involving x^2 - 1 real numbers would probably be prefered to field, since here the algebraic properties are not of concern
