polyCub (version 0.4-3)

polyCub-package: Cubature over Polygonal Domains

Description

The Rpackage polyCub provides methods for cubature (numerical integration) over polygonal domains. The function polyCub() is the main entry point of the package. It is a wrapper around the specific cubature methods listed below.
