NIntegrate

FilledSmallSquare NIntegrate[f, {x, xmin, xmax}] gives a numerical approximation to the integral .

FilledSmallSquare Multidimensional integrals can be specified, as in Integrate.

FilledSmallSquare NIntegrate tests for singularities at the end points of the integration range.

FilledSmallSquare NIntegrate[f, {x, , , ... , }] tests for singularities at each of the intermediate points . If there are no singularities, the result is equivalent to an integral from to . You can use complex numbers to specify an integration contour in the complex plane.

Entering Commands Directly

You can paste a template for this command via the Text Input button on the NIntegrate Function Controller.

Functions that cannot be integrated using algebraic routines can nonetheless be integrated numerically.

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

There are some functions that will give NIntegrate trouble.

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

Another way to solve the problem is to make NIntegrate break the integration region into several pieces, with a small piece that explicitly covers the neighborhood of the peak.

In[6]:=
