NSum[f, {i,  , Infinity}] numerical approximation to
NProduct[f, {i,  , Infinity}] numerical approximation to
NIntegrate[f, {x,  ,  }] numerical approximation to
NIntegrate[f, {x,  ,  }, {y,  ,  }]
the multiple integral

Numerical sums, products and integrals.
Here is a numerical approximation to  .

In[1]:=  NSum[1/i^3, {i, 1, Infinity}]

Out[1]=

NIntegrate can handle singularities at the end points of the integration region.

In[2]:=  NIntegrate[1/Sqrt[x (1-x)], {x, 0, 1}]

Out[2]=

You can do numerical integrals over infinite regions.

In[3]:=  NIntegrate[Exp[-x^2], {x, -Infinity, Infinity}]

Out[3]=

Here is a double integral over a triangular domain. Note the order in which the variables are given.

In[4]:=  NIntegrate[ Sin[x y], {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, x} ]

Out[4]=
