Re: Intergration help required

[Mahvish Nazir]

Hi
 
Thanks a lot for your reply!
 
I am looking for a numerical solution only, but the problem is, the values of my constants will keep on changing. Does that mean everytime the value of my constant changes i have to write a new program to compute its numerical value?
And what do you mean by "choose a discretisation of the integration domain"? Please explain.
 
Thanks and Regards

Mahvish

What does a "solution" mean to you? If you want symbolic integration,
Octave is the wrong tool for the task, because it's not a CAS.

If you want numerical integration, then you need to assign values to
the constants and choose a discretisation of the integration domain.
Then use one of the quad function.
