Integration

In the next section, we will get ourselves acquainted with the methods of integration.

Getting ready

To get involved in the following recipe, we need to know about the following instructions and requirements:

• To achieve the definite integration of functions on suitable domains, we have mainly two methods—numerical integration and symbolic integration.
• Numerical integration refers to the approximation of a definite integral via a quadrature process. Depending on how the function f(x) is given, the domain of integration, the knowledge of its singularities, and the choice of quadrature is the main part of this section.
• In many cases, it is also possible to perform exact integration, even for non-bounded domains...
