public abstract class AbstractIntegrator
extends PropertyHolder
implements Reflexive, Serializable

An AbstractIntegrator serves to calculate the definite integral of a function. It defines the integration bounds in the form of a Segment and two abstract methods, one to calculate the integrand as a function of one or more variables and the other to actually do the integration.
