It throws an error, but I think it might be correct.  The integrand is
supposed to return a vector for vector inputs.  This allows the quadrature
routine to call f(x1, x2, x3, ..., xn) and get y1,y2,y3, ..., yn. 
Vectorization is always far faster than having to write this as a for loop
from 1:n and then call the function repeatedly.

Just to test, if you change the integrand to a vector function it works
correctly.

quadcc (@(x) ones (size (x)), 0, 1)
ans =  1.00000

Cheers,
Rik
