Numerical Approximation

Follow these steps to perform the simulation easily and without confusion:

  1. Read the Problem Statement

    • The problem statement is shown on the left side of the simulation.
  2. Initialize the Experiment

    • Enter the lower and upper limits of integration (a and b) in the input fields provided.
    • Make sure that b > a and b - a >= 1.
    • Click the OK button to save your values.
  3. Start the Simulation

    • Click the Start button to begin the simulation.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
