Hi, I have a function y=(x^3/2H^3+1). I am calculating flux through an area defined by this function. So I have 

flux = limits (0, 2H) integral (function, dx). 

This is what I cannot understand - if for the same problem, I define the flux boundary as (-H, H), the flux will become 

flux = limits (-H, H) integral (function, dx)

In principle, both scenarios should result in the same result but they don't. I cannot understand what I am doing wrong. 

I will appreciate any insights. 

Thanks, 
John.
