  14. With regard to the "closed forms" thread, Andrew Mullhaupt said:
  15.  
  16.      The requisite facts form what is sometimes called Liouville theory.
  17.      See for example the section of that name on pp.  79ff of
  18.      Zwillinger's _Handbook of Integration_, Jones and Bartlett, Boston
  19.      (1992).
  20.

  24. of closed-form integration part of algebraic geometry and, therefore, possibly
  25. found in Griffith and Harris' tome, or in Clemens'
  26. _A_Scrapbook_of_Complex_Curves_? (Hope I got that title right...)
