Introduction
In earlier chapters we obtained many basic integration
formulas as an immediate consequence of the corresponding
differentiation formulas.
Subsequently, we expanded our integration repertoire by
introducing the method of u-substitution.
That method enabled us to integrate many functions by
transforming the integrand of an unfamiliar integral into a
familiar form.
However, u-substitution alone is not adequate to handle the
wide variety of integrals that arise in applications, so
additional integration techniques are still needed.

Introduction
In this chapter we will discuss some of those techniques, and
we will provide a more systematic procedure for attacking
unfamiliar integrals.
We will talk more about numerical approximations of definite
integrals, and we will explore the idea of integrating over
infinite intervals.

1.5 Numerical Integration; Simpson’s Rule
Introduction
If it is necessary to evaluate a definite integral of a function for
which an antiderivative cannot be found, then one must settle
for some kind of numerical approximation of the integral.
In this section we will extend those methods to general definite
integrals, and we will develop some new methods that often
provide more accuracy with less computation.
We will also discuss the errors that arise in integral
approximations.

A Review Of Riemann Sum Approximations
Recall from Section5.5 that the definite integral of a
continuous function f over an interval [a,b]may be computed
as n
f ( x ) dx
i 1
f ( x ) x
In the case where the limit exists, the improper integral is said
to converge, and the limit is defined to be the value of the
integral.
In the case where the limit does not exist, the improper integral
is said to diverge, and it is not assigned a value.
