Because the calculation time depends on how soon a certain density of sample points is achieved in the region where the function is interesting, the calculation of the integral of any function will be prolonged if the interval of integration includes mostly regions where the function is not interesting. Fortunately, if you must calculate such an integral, you can modify the problem so that the calculation time is considerably reduced. Two such techniques are subdividing the interval of integration and transformation of variables. These methods enable you to change the function or the limits of integration so that the integrand is better behaved over the interval(s) of integration.
