Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a smooth function f(x) = sin(x) on the interval [0, Ο€]. Compare the approximate integral using Gaussian quadrature (2-point) with the true integral. How does the accuracy compare?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Evaluate using specified nodes and compare to the exact integral value.

Question 2

Challenge yourself to derive a situation in which a rapidly oscillating function might mislead Gaussian quadrature measures. Describe the outcome.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how rapid changes in a function affect your numerical integration technique.
