If you are already familiar with numerical integration methods in general, then the brief descriptions should be helpful. Personally, though, I rarely use NIntegrate for serious work. It is far too slow because it is such a general routine. When I am really concerned about the speed or convergence of an integration routine, I program my own and use NIntegrate to check my work.
