Integrates the function above over several dimensions, the size of the
vector argument is the dimension one.
Both algorithms are not really on the same stand since the quadrature
will be incorrect to use if the integrand is not appropiately behaved. Over
dimension 3 you might need to modify the points in the integral to retain a
sensible computing time.
