I enter this line at the Sage prompt:
val, err = numerical_integral(sqrt(cos(x)^2 + 1), 0, 2*pi)
and I get an error, which is, in its entirety:
Traceback (click to the left for traceback)
...
the only way at present).
Traceback (most recent call last):

RuntimeError: Unable to start maple because the command 'maple -t'
failed.
In order to use the Maple interface you need to have Maple installed
and have a script in your PATH called "maple" that runs the
command-line version of Maple. Alternatively, you could use a remote
connection to a server running Maple; for hints, type
print maple._install_hints_ssh()
(1) You might have to buy Maple (http://webstore.maplesoft.com/).
(2) * LINUX: The maple script comes standard with your Maple
install.
* APPLE OS X:
(a) create a file called maple (in your PATH), with the
following contents:
#!/bin/sh
/Library/Frameworks/Maple.framework/Versions/Current/bin/
maple $@
(b) Save the file.
(c) Make the file executable.
chmod +x maple
* WINDOWS:
You must install Maple-for-Linux into the VMware machine
(sorry, that's
the only way at present).
