Numerical Integration The area under the curve f(x) between x=a and x=b: Example: the volume rate of flow (Q) of water in a channel or through a pipe is the integral of the velocity (V) and the incremental area (dA):
Interpolation Formula Approach The Gregory-Newton interpolation polynomial:
Trapezoidal Rule
Another way to get the trapezoidal formula The linear polynomial passing the data points:
The absolute value of the upper bound on the error for the Trapezoidal rule is:

Simpson’s Rule where Simpson’s rule: Simpson’s rule can only be applied when there are an even number of subintervals:
Proof of Simpson’s Rule Using a second-order polynomial:
Passing through the three data points: Then, we can obtain the Simpson’s formula.

Romberg Integration Denoting the trapezoidal estimate as I01 where a and b are the start and end of an interval. A second estimate I11:
A third estimate I21 can be obtained using three equally spaced intermediate points m1, m2, and m3 and it can be rewritten as
Continuing this subdividing of the interval leads to the following recursive relationship The general extrapolation formula in recursive form is
