Double Integral Calculator
A powerful Double Integral Calculator for precise computation over rectangular regions. Easy-to-use with visualization. Supports multiple methods. Perfect for students & professionals.
What Is It?
A Double Integral Calculator computes the volume under a 3D surface defined by ( f(x,y) ) over rectangular bounds ( [a,b] \times [c,d] ). Ideal for calculus students, engineers, and researchers, it supports numerical methods (Simpson’s, Trapezoidal, Monte Carlo) and provides visual insights.
How to Use
- Enter a Function: Use standard notation (e.g.,
x^2 + sin(y)). - Set Limits: Define ( x )-range ([a,b]) and ( y )-range ([c,d]).
- Choose Method: Pick an integration technique (default: Simpson’s Rule).
- Adjust Precision: Increase steps for higher accuracy (slower computation).
- Calculate: Results display with notation, value, and computation time.
Key Features
- Visualization: 2D projections via Chart.js.
- Multiple Methods: Simpson’s (accurate), Trapezoidal (balanced), Monte Carlo (probabilistic).
- Error Handling: Validates syntax and bounds.
- Examples: Preloaded functions for quick testing.
FAQs
Q: Why use Simpson’s Rule?
A: It’s highly accurate for smooth functions, using quadratic approximations.
Q: Can I input trigonometric functions?
A: Yes! Use sin(x), cos(y), etc. (e.g., sin(x)*exp(y)).
Q: Why a 2D chart for 3D integrals?
A: For simplicity and performance. For full 3D, use tools like MATLAB or Wolfram Alpha.
Q: How does Monte Carlo work?
A: It estimates the integral via random sampling—useful for complex boundaries.
Terminology Explained
