scipy does for sure, and might even use the same routines as octave. ( Philippe, if you're interested in the scipy route, I can provide more details. Which way you go depends on what you're familiar with and what your future plans are. The octave solution seems rather easy.)
however, you can always implement the midpoint, trapezoidal, or simpsons rule easily yourself (bonus points if you implement Gaussian quadrature as well). mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
