Simpson's rule - Simpson's rule

Japanese: シンプソンの公式 - シンプソンのこうしき(英語表記)Simpson's rule
Simpson's rule - Simpson's rule
This is a formula often used in practice for the numerical integration of functions, and was discovered by the British mathematician T. Simpson (1710-61). When the value of the definite integral of f ( x ) over a given interval [ a , b ] cannot be found accurately, a method is used in which f ( x ) is approximated by a function whose integral can be easily found, such as a polynomial p ( x ), and the definite integral of p ( x ) is used to approximate the definite integral of f ( x ). The general formula for this method is given by the Newton-Cotes formula. Simpson's formula corresponds to the Newton-Cotes formula when n = 2, and is also known as Simpson's 1/3 rule. When n = 3, it is Simpson's 3/8 rule. If we divide the interval [ a , b ] into 2n equal parts and let the points a = x0 , x1 , x2 , ..., x2n = b , and the corresponding values ​​of y = f ( x ) be y0 , y1 , y2 , ..., y2n , respectively, then the approximation of the definite integral S is given by S( h /3) { y0 + 4 ( y1 + y3 + ... + y2n - 1 ) + 2( y2 + y4 + ... + y2n - 2 ) + y2n }, where h = ( b - a )/ 2n .
