Laplace's method

Method for approximate evaluation of integralsIn mathematics, Laplace's method, named after Pierre-Simon Laplace, is a technique used to approximate integrals of the form ∫abeMf(x)dx,{\displaystyle \int _{a}^{b}e^{Mf(x)}\,dx,}where f{\displaystyle f} is a twice-differentiablefunction, M{\displaystyle M} is a large number, and the endpoints a{\displaystyle a} and b{\displaystyle b} may be infinite.
