Double Integral Calculator | Numerical 2D Integral Solver

Enter a function of x and y, then set the lower and upper limits for each variable. The calculator numerically approximates the double integral over that rectangle.

Quick answer: The tool approximates ∬ f(x,y) dA on the rectangle [x₀,x₁] × [y₀,y₁] using a two-dimensional Simpson grid.

Use the Double Integral Calculator | Numerical 2D Integral Solver

Enter your values below. The calculator runs in your browser and shows an estimate immediately.

Use x, y, +, -, *, /, ^ and supported functions such as sin, cos, exp, ln, sqrt.

Results are for planning and learning. Review the assumptions below before relying on an estimate.

Method

How the estimate is calculated

∫ from x₀ to x₁ ∫ from y₀ to y₁ f(x,y) dy dx; approximate result by composite Simpson quadrature

Example: For f(x,y)=x+y over 0≤x≤1 and 0≤y≤2, the exact integral is 3. The numerical result should be close to 3.

When this calculator is useful

Numerical integration can be useful when an exact antiderivative is hard to find or when you want to check a worked example. The bounds here describe a rectangle. If your problem uses a curved domain, rewrite it with suitable variable limits or use an integration method designed for that region.

How to use this calculator

Use parentheses to make the order of operations clear. Select x and y limits that describe a rectangular region. The expression parser supports common arithmetic and elementary functions, and the result is a numerical approximation rather than symbolic algebra.

What to keep in mind

This solver handles rectangular bounds and reasonably smooth expressions. It does not automatically integrate over curved or irregular regions, resolve singularities, or provide a proof of exactness. Numerical accuracy can be affected by discontinuities and rapidly changing functions.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What does a double integral calculate?

It accumulates values of a function over a two-dimensional region, often representing volume, mass or another total quantity.

Can this calculator solve any region?

It integrates over a rectangle defined by independent x and y bounds. For a curved region, transform the bounds or use a tool designed for that domain.

Is the answer exact?

No. The calculator uses numerical quadrature. It is an approximation, so compare with an exact method when one is available.

Which functions are supported?

Basic arithmetic, powers and common functions such as sin, cos, tan, exp, ln, log, sqrt and abs are supported. Use x and y as variables.
