Can anyone give me some guidance on how to approach a singular integral similar to this: f:=Int((y^2-1)^(1/2)/y/(1-1.5*y^2+(y^2-1)^(1/2)*(3*y^2-1)^(1/2))*(1-1.5*y^2)*(.1e-5-(.1066590211e-4*y+.1e-2*(y^2-1)^(1/2))^2),y = 1 .. 1.4037); It arises from a solution of the Wave equation from an impact to the elastic half-space. I am working through a paper by G. Eason (J. Inst. Maths Applics)from 1966 where integrals of this type are evaluated numerically, but the details are left out. Thanks, Ken kagd@lehigh.edu
