    /*! Given a number \f$ N \f$ of intervals, the integral of
        a function \f$ f \f$ between \f$ a \f$ and \f$ b \f$ is
        calculated by means of the trapezoid formula
        \f[
        \int_{a}^{b} f \mathrm{d}x =
        \frac{1}{2} f(x_{0}) + f(x_{1}) + f(x_{2}) + \dots

        \f$ x_i = a+i \Delta x \f$ with
        \f$ \Delta x = (b-a)/N \f$.
 
        \test the correctness of the result is tested by checking it
              against known good values.
