+## numerical intergration using trapezodial method.
+## trapz (@var{y}) computes the integral of the vector y. If y is a 
+## matrix the integral is computed columnwise.
+## If the argument @var{X} is omitted a equally spaced vector is assumed. 
+## trapz (@var{X},@var{Y}) evaluates the integral with respect to @var{X}
