The Quadrature and Differentiation section of the Boost Math library provides methods for numerical integration and differentiation of functions. These methods can be used directly in R without needing any additional compilation.
# Tanh-sinh quadrature of log(x) from 0 to 1
tanh_sinh(function(x) { log(x) * log1p(-x) }, a = 0, b = 1)
#> [1] 0.3550659
# Sinh-sinh quadrature of exp(-x^2)
sinh_sinh(function(x) { exp(-x * x) })
#> [1] 1.772454
# Exp-sinh quadrature of exp(-3*x) from 0 to Inf
exp_sinh(function(x) { exp(-3 * x) }, a = 0, b = Inf)
#> [1] 0.3333333
