Sorry, I didnt read your mail well enough. This
function just finds the inverted average. But
how does the integration function look like?

I have a feeling its something like
(something (* 0.5 (* invertaverage invertaverage))
           something2)

but I dont know enough math to figure out how
to make the function. And I have tried. :)
(all sunday actually)
