And plot(x, (x, 0, pi)) is valid, but integral(sin(x), (x, 0, pi)) is not. > (2) desolve and desolve_laplace > > desolve ( f(x).diff(x,2) + f(x) == 0, f(x), [0, 0, 1] ) is valid > desolve_laplace with same arguments raises error > > and there are many more. > > I guess, in most cases only minor tweaks are needed.
