I found some a references via google about a quadrature project (numerical integration). http://hugoduncan.org/boostable/doc/html/index.html
I can't find any trace in the sandbox. Does anybody know the status of this project?
I would be interested in seeing progress here as well. I believe, however, that if anyone wants to undertake the creation of a comprehensive collection of quadrature algorithms, then flexibility to handle multiple-precision numbers. (Yes, I know that this would be difficult.) Boost already has some support for multiple-precision in Boost.Math. In addition, some *potential* new works such as Boost.Multiprecision and Boost.Big_Number (both in sandbox now) work toward formalization of the semantics of multiple-precision numbers. So new math algorithms might want to target compatibility with these new potential works. In addition, my examples 5 and 8 in Boost.Multiprecision exemplify rudimentary quadrature as well as Gauss-Laguerre quadrature for multiple-precision numbers. Perhaps this might help a potential quadrature algorithm author in some small way. Sincerely, Chris.
