4. Numerical Integration

Numerical integration is crucial for approximating definite integrals, particularly when analytical methods are infeasible. Techniques like the Trapezoidal Rule and Simpson's Rules offer varying levels of accuracy and applicability, making them vital in fields such as engineering, physics, and finance. These methods facilitate the analysis of complex functions and ensure effective data interpretation.

Sections

    Interpolation & Numerical Methods

    Numerical integration provides methods for approximating the definite integral of complex functions, essential in various scientific applications.

  • 4.1

    Basics Of Numerical Integration

    Numerical integration is the process of approximating the definite integral of a function, particularly useful when analytical methods are infeasible.

  • 4.2

    Trapezoidal Rule

    The Trapezoidal Rule approximates the area under a curve by dividing it into trapezoids and calculating their heights.

  • 4.3

    Simpson’s 1/3 Rule

    Simpson's 1/3 Rule is a numerical integration method that uses parabolic segments for better accuracy than the Trapezoidal Rule.

  • 4.4

    Simpson’s 3/8 Rule

    Simpson’s 3/8 Rule is an advanced numerical integration technique that approximates definite integrals using cubic polynomials, particularly effective when the number of intervals is a multiple of three.
