Numerical Approximation
Follow these steps to perform the simulation easily and without confusion:
Read the Problem Statement
- The problem statement is shown on the left side of the simulation.
Initialize the Experiment
- Enter the lower and upper limits of integration (
aandb) in the input fields provided. - Make sure that
b > aandb - a >= 1. - Click the OK button to save your values.
- Enter the lower and upper limits of integration (
Start the Simulation
- Click the Start button to begin the simulation.
Step Through the Code
- Click the Next button to execute the code step by step.
- The currently executing line in the code will be highlighted in the center panel.
View the Visualization and Output
- The right panel displays the graph showing the area under the curve as the code executes.
- Local variables and the output of the code are shown below the graph for each step.
Repeat or Reset
- You can change the input values and repeat the simulation as needed.
Manual
In this lab, you calculate the area under a curve using numerical approximation techniques. The simulation helps you visualize each step of the process interactively.
