Integration Definition and 1000 Threads

System integration is defined in engineering as the process of bringing together the component sub-systems into one system (an aggregation of subsystems cooperating so that the system is able to deliver the overarching functionality) and ensuring that the subsystems function together as a system, and in information technology as the process of linking together different computing systems and software applications physically or functionally, to act as a coordinated whole.
The system integrator integrates discrete systems utilizing a variety of techniques such as computer networking, enterprise application integration, business process management or manual programming.System integration involves integrating existing, often disparate systems in such a way "that focuses on increasing value to the customer" (e.g., improved product quality and performance) while at the same time providing value to the company (e.g., reducing operational costs and improving response time). In the modern world connected by Internet, the role of system integration engineers is important: more and more systems are designed to connect, both within the system under construction and to systems that are already deployed.

    If statement for Monte Carlo integration

    Hello, I am writing a program on Fortran to calculate the integral of sin^4(x) between x = 0 and x = π/2. I believe I know how to write the correct code, but I am unsure what the if statement should be for whether or not a point is inside the desired area. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    MHB What is the difference between ln 4 and log 4?

    I am reviewing Calculus 1 integration learned long ago in the 1990s. Integrate (1/x) dx from 1 to 4. The textbook answer is ln 4. However, many of my friends tell me that the answer can also be written as log 4. But, ln 4 does NOT equal log 4. In fact, ln 4 > log 4. Who is right? Why?
