After an introduction on how virtual contributions enter phenomenological
predictions, I will focus on three pragmatic ways of evaluating the integrals
involved in these. First, I will introduce the database Loopedia, then a fully
numerical approach using the program pySecDec, and finally analytic
approximations using Taylor expansions as implemented in the program TayInt
