Lesson 13

Maple has quite powerful numerical integration tools.

The main integration function int has the following syntax:

int (p (x), x = a..b),

where p (x) is the integral function of one variable x; a, b - the boundaries of integration.

This function often gives the exact value of a particular integral.

Example. Let the integral function has the form:

f (x): = exp (x ^ 2);

It is necessary to calculate a definite integral in the range from 1 to 2 - write:

int (f (x), x = 1..2);

Initial is expressed by the operator:

int (f (x), x);
