Approximate (Numerical) IntegrationCalculus IIWhen do we use
approximate integration?Situations that make it impossible to find
the exact value of a definite integral:Finding the antiderivative
is difficult or even impossible. Therefore there is no way to apply
the Fundamental Theory of Calculus.The function is determined from
a scientific experiment through collection of data or instrument
readings. Example:Methods for Approximate Integration
2.Trapezoid RuleFor numerical integration
3. Simpsons Rulefor numerical integration
