Permission required for reproduction or display. Chapter Objectives • Recognizing that Newton-Cotes integration formulas are based on the strategy of replacing a complicated function or tabulated data with a polynomial that is easy to integrate. • Knowing how to implement the following single application Newton-Cotes formulas: – Trapezoidal rule – Simpson’s 1/3 rule – Simpson’s 3/8 rule • Knowing how to implement the following composite Newton-Cotes formulas: – Trapezoidal rule – Simpson’s 3/8 rule Objectives (cont) • Recognizing that even-segment-odd-point formulas like Simpson’s 1/3 rule achieve higher than expected accuracy. • Knowing how to use the trapezoidal rule to integrate unequally spaced data. • Understanding the difference between open and closed integration formulas. Integration • Integration: b I f x dx ∫ ( ) a is the total value, or summation, of f(x) dx over the range from a to b: Newton-Cotes Formulas • The Newton-Cotes formulas are the most common numerical integration schemes. • Generally, they are based on replacing a complicated function or tabulated data with a polynomial that is easy to integrate: b b I
