Abstract
Consider an integral with a point singularity in its integrand, such as ρ−α or \(\log \rho \). We introduceand discuss two methods for approximating such integrals, in both two and three dimensions. The methods are first introduced using the unit disk as the quadrature region, and then, they are extended to other regions and to three dimensions. The error behavior of the numerical integration for singular points near to the boundary is examined.
