{Thoughts}

We started learning Haskell in Professor Misra’s class. Since this is the first functional programming language I have been exposed to, I decided to write an integrator.

small_dx = 0.0001

– integrate a function f from a to b
integrate f a b = integrateGen f a b small_dx 0

– Generalize the integrate function to take
– advantage of [...]

// The outputs given is based on my machine; it may
