Abstract.A complete solution to the problem of symbolic differentiation and integration of any order (integer, fractional, or real) of the power-inverse trigonometric classes has been given. In this work, we tackle the power-inverse tangential class

where 's are polynomials of certain degrees. We give a unified formula for symbolic derivatives and integrals of any order. The approach does not depend on integration techniques. The formula, in general, is in terms of the -function, but in many cases can be simplified for less general functions. Arbitrary (integer, fractional or real) order of differentiation is found according to the Riemann-Liouville definition, whereas we adopt the generalized Cauchy -fold integral definition for arbitrary order of integration.
