  sage: r = integrate(e^((-x^2)), x, -3, 3)
  sage: r
  sqrt(pi)*erf(3)

There is the "n" method (I suppose "n" refers to "numerical
evaluation"):
  sage: r.n()
  1.77241469651904

If you prefer functions: There is also an "n" function.
  sage: n(r)
  1.77241469651904

You can also think of a field (say, the real or complex field) and
evaluate the integral there:
  sage: RR(r)
  1.77241469651904
or
  sage: CC(r)
  1.77241469651904

Best regards,
Simon
