# Boost Math - Quadrature and Differentiation

## Quadrature and Differentiation

The Quadrature and Differentiation section of the Boost Math library provides methods for numerical integration and differentiation of functions. These methods can be used directly in R without needing any additional compilation.

### Trapezoidal Quadrature

    # Trapezoidal rule integration of sin(x) from 0 to pi
    trapezoidal(sin, 0, pi)
    #> [1] 2

### Gauss-Legendre Quadrature

    # Gauss-Legendre integration of exp(x) from 0 to 1
    gauss_legendre(exp, 0, 1, points = 7)
    #> [1] 1.718282

### Gauss-Kronrod Quadrature

    # Adaptive Gauss-Kronrod integration of log(x) from 1 to 2
    gauss_kronrod(log, 1, 2, points = 15, max_depth = 10)
    #> [1] 0.3862944

    # Non-adaptive Gauss-Kronrod integration of log(x) from 1 to 2
    gauss_kronrod(log, 1, 2, points = 15, max_depth = 0)
    #> [1] 0.3862944

### Double-Exponential Quadrature

    # Tanh-sinh quadrature of log(x) from 0 to 1
    tanh_sinh(function(x) { log(x) * log1p(-x) }, a = 0, b = 1)
    #> [1] 0.3550659
    # Sinh-sinh quadrature of exp(-x^2)
    sinh_sinh(function(x) { exp(-x * x) })
    #> [1] 1.772454
    # Exp-sinh quadrature of exp(-3*x) from 0 to Inf
    exp_sinh(function(x) { exp(-3 * x) }, a = 0, b = Inf)
    #> [1] 0.3333333

### Fourier Integrals

    # Fourier sine integral of sin(x) with omega = 1
    # ooura_fourier_sin(function(x) { 1 / x }, omega = 1)
    # Fourier cosine integral of cos(x) with omega = 1
    # ooura_fourier_cos(function(x) { 1/ (x * x + 1) }, omega = 1)

### Numerical Differentiation

    # Finite difference derivative of sin(x) at pi/4
    finite_difference_derivative(sin, pi / 4)
    #> [1] 0.7071068
    # Complex step derivative of exp(x) at 1.7
    complex_step_derivative(exp, 1.7)
    #> [1] 5.473947
