Question 1
Given the function \( f(x) = \sin(x) \) over the interval \( [0, \pi] \), apply 2-point Gaussian quadrature to approximate the integral.
π‘ Hint: Remember to first find the specific nodes for\\( [0, \\pi] \\) and use the weights applicable.
Question 2
Evaluate the effectiveness of Gaussian quadrature compared to Simpson's rule for the integral \( \int_0^1 e^{x} dx \). Which provides better accuracy with fewer evaluations?
π‘ Hint: Reflect on how the number of evaluations and error differences can be calculated directly.
