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.
