## Is there a way for me to get Mathematica show its steps?

I have seen similar questions but they were quite dated (3+ years). When performing, say an Integration, it would be beneficial to see the major steps such as variable substitution, change the order of integration, perform by-parts, etc. Thanks

1Integrate in general does not do things in a way that would be recognizable from basic calculus. – Daniel Lichtblau – 2015-05-08T18:01:03.823

Thanks for your inputs. I was wondering if newer versions of Mathematica has newer features on the subject. – Vectorizer – 2015-05-08T18:07:56.000

1The Risch algorithm is the core method used for symbolic integration in most software. Searching for it in your favorite search engine should turn up at least a useful introduction. – J. M.'s ennui – 2015-05-08T18:24:14.403

Thanks, now I got it. I googled the name before and all I saw was a politician! – Vectorizer – 2015-05-08T18:29:01.383
