%% SIMPLEX_ND approximates an integral inside a simplex in ND.
%
%  Integration region:
%
%    The simplex bounded by the origin and a convex combination of N points.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    An N+1 point second degree formula is used.

%
%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, external FUNC, the name of the user supplied
%    function which evaluates F(X) at the N-dimensional point
%    X, of the form
%      function value = func ( n, x )
%
%    Input, integer N, the dimension of the space.
%
%    Input, real V(N+1,N), each of the
%    N+1 rows of V contains the N coordinates of one of the
%    vertices of the simplex.
%
%    Output, real RESULT, the approximate integral of the function.
