Hi: I am trying to evaluate a double integral (since I cannot put
LaTeX, the 'S' below
stands for the integral sign:)

     1      sqrt(x)
    S      S         4xy - y^3 dy dx
     0      x^3

This is what I put into sage:

sage: var('x,y')
(x, y)
sage: f=4*x*y-y^3
sage: print f
                                               3
                                  4 x y - y

sage: print integrate(integrate(f,y,x^3,x^0.5),y,0,1)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

TypeError: Computation failed since Maxima requested additional
constraints (use
 assume):
Is  x  positive or negative?

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks much in advance.
