NINTLIB
N-dimensional quadrature

NINTLIB is a FORTRAN77 library which estimates integrals over multi-dimensional regions.

Please note that these routines are simple and academic. A good program for computing an integral in multiple dimensions must include error estimation and adaptivity. Simple straightforward approaches to reducing the error will cause a ruinous explosion in the number of function evaluations required.
