Line, Surface and Contour Integration “Find the integral of the function ” is a typical core thing one wants to do in calculus. And in Mathematica and the Wolfram Language that’s achieved with Integrate. And over the years that’s exactly what we’ve achieved—for integrals, sums, differential equations, etc. And in Version 13.3
