34 Post Notes

The document discusses numerical methods for approximating definite integrals. It introduces five common numerical integration techniques: left and right Riemann sums, midpoint Riemann sum, trapezoidal rule, and Simpson's rule. It then provides an example problem demonstrating the application of the right Riemann sum, trapezoidal rule, and Simpson's rule to approximate a given integral, comparing the results to the actual value.

If f(x) is continuous, we are guaranteed that

exists, but sometimes we cannot evaluate

the integral. For these cases, we use numerical methods to approximate the definite integral
(area under the curve.)

1. Left Riemann Sum

2. Right Riemann Sum
