Two efficient methods for automatic numerical integration are Romberg integration and adaptive Simpson integration. For integrands of the form ƒ(x)g(x, &agr;) where &agr; is a parameter, it is shown that Romberg's method is more efficient. A FORTRAN program shows how to achieve this greater efficiency.
