Symbolic integration, a cornerstone of computational mathematics, traditionally relies on intricate algorithms to find antiderivatives. Rubi, a rule-based integrator, takes a different and unique approach. Instead of algorithms, Rubi uses thousands of human-readable mathematical rules, systematically applied, to determine integrals. This method provides more transparent integration steps and often yields simpler and more accurate results than traditional means. In this talk, we'll delve into the world of Rubi, exploring its potential and comparing it to conventional integrators.
Sad to hear about the passing of the creator of the project. Hopefully the project can keep flourishing and find a community to further develop it. Certainly the foundation are there. Ports in other languages would also be nice, hopefully the Julia one will not be abandoned, and I hope someone takes up porting and verifying the project in Lean or other theorem provers. Unfortunately I lack the technical skills and knowledge to do any of the above
