Abstract
A numerical integration technique based upon the use of nonrandom number sequences is examined with test integrations of a simple, analytical function. A comparison of the nonrandom technique with the familiar Monte Carlo method shows that the error of the new method decreases faster as more points are used in the calculation. Moreover, the new method needs fewer points to calculate an integral to an accuracy of 10% than does the Monte Carlo method.Keywords
