Calculate numeric and symbolic integrals

An integral is a mathematical result that represents the area between a function and a plane (e.g., x-y plane). The concept of integrals is fundamental in calculus, and has broad application in all engineering disciplines.

You can calculate integrals numerically using techniques such as the Simpson quadrature, Lobatto quadrature, and Gauss-Kronrod quadrature. Integrals, both definite and indefinite, can also be calculated symbolically.

For more information on the numeric and symbolic calculations of integrals, seeMATLAB®andSymbolic Math Toolbox™.
