Integration methods, based on original work by Beng

integration

• http://github.com/clbustos/integration

DESCRIPTION:

Numerical integration for Ruby, with a simple interface

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

• Use only one method: Integration.integrate
• Rectangular, Trapezoidal, Simpson, Adaptive quadrature, Monte Carlo and Romberg integration methods available on pure Ruby.
• If available, uses Ruby/GSL QNG non-adaptive Gauss-Kronrod integration and QAG adaptive integration, with support for Infinity+ and Infinity-

SYNOPSIS:

Integration.integrate(1,2,{:tolerance=>1e-10,:method=>:simpson}) {|x| x**2} => 2.333333

Support for infinity bounds with GSL QAG adaptative integration

normal_pdf=lambda {|x| (1/Math.sqrt(2*Math::PI))*Math.exp(-(x**2/2))} Integration.integrate(Integration::MInfinity, 0 , {:tolerance=>1e-10}, &normal_pdf) => 0.5 Integration.integrate(0, Integration::Infinity , {:tolerance=>1e-10}, &normal_pdf) => 0.5

REQUIREMENTS:

• Ruby/GSL, for better performance and support for infinite bounds

INSTALL:

gem install integration

integration's Issues

1.8.7 Compatibility

I know 1.8.7 is on it's way out, but define_singleton_method in looks like the only thing making this gem incompatible with 1.8.7.

Any chance of accepting a pull request that replaces define_singleton_method? (intercom/intercom-rails#31 would be a similar example of a replacement.)
