Using the trapezoidal rule we used a linear approximation to the graph. It works by creating an even number of intervals and fitting a parabola in each pair of intervals. This proves to be very efficient since its generally more accurate than the other numerical methods weve seen. When the integration formula is used to develop a predictor formula for di. We use simpsons rule to find an approximation for the area of a shape that has one or more edges which are not straight.
By the way, this method is just the average of the left and right methods. The numerical method we will discuss here is called the trapezoid rule. Simpsons rule this rule is based on using a quadratic polynomial approximation to the function fx over a pair of partitions. Lecture 15 numerical integration continued simpsons.

Quadrature rule previously, the trapezoidal rule can be developed by the method of undetermined coefficients as. An improvement on the trapezoidal rule is simpsons rule. In the graphic, approximations for a given are computed using the two rules and compared with the exact value of the integral. Filonsimpson quadrature rules are derived for integrals of the type. Since simpsons rule uses parabolas to approximate the function, it would make sense to say that it will be exact when approximating the integral of a quadratic function. Most reallife functions are curves rather than lines, so simpsons rule gives the better result, unless the function that you are approximating is.
Simpsons rule uses quadratic approximations and thus produces exact values for quadratic integrands. Its strength is that, although rectangles and trapezoids work better for linear functions.

However, johannes kepler used similar formulas over 100 years prior, and for this reason, the method is sometimes called keplers rule, or keplersche. Since simpsons rule is so accurate, it would make sense to ask if its ever exact. If higher order polynomials are used, the more accurate result can be achieved. The aim in this section is to describe numerical methods for approximating integrals of the. For example, in simpsons rule, a second order polynomial is used for integration of. Extended simpsons rule simply add up integrated values obtained using simpsons rule over each subinterval. Simpsons rule simpsons rule, named after thomas simpson though also used by kepler a century before, was a way to approximate integrals without having to deal with lots of narrow rectangles which also implies lots of decimal calculations.
