Many of them are. Just look in the IDL help and see if the one you
want is there. It is also possible to use call_external() to use the
NR code directly.

Dear Ken,

Thanks for the reply.

Do you know if routines from "Numerical Recipes" are available in IDL?

Thanks,

Sid

Multidimensional integrals are not easy. Perhaps IDL is not the tool
for the job. Have you considered Mathematica?

Some are, look in the index for "NR_".
