Hi Ulvi,
I would do this:
In[16]:= Clear[f];
f[n_] :=
With[{vars = Table[Unique[], {n}]},
NIntegrate @@ {Total[vars^2],
Sequence @@ Table[{v, 0, 1}, {v, vars}]}]
In[18]:= f /@ Range[5]
Out[18]= {0.333333, 0.666667, 1., 1.33333, 1.66667}
This basically constructs programmatically the same NIntegrate that you
would write by hand,
so not sure if this can be called elegant.
Regards,
Leonid
