    Hi, the numerical integration command (quad) needs a function or an string as input (but I only have the values of the vector (e.g. 5 60 45 3 8 etc.)). I programmed Simpsons rule: %int=1/3*h*[fo+4*(f1+f3+...+f2n-1)+2*(f2+f4+...+f2n-2)+f2n] and the results seem quite reasonable (about 5% error...
