Numerical integration using various methods such as Trapezoidal and Simpson’s methods.
Aim
The aim of this experiment is to understand and evaluate numerical integration techniques using a simulation tool by performing the following steps:
- To input a mathematical function and define appropriate lower and upper integration limits.
- To divide the given interval into a specific number of segments for numerical computation.
- To apply different numerical integration methods such as:
- Trapezoidal Rule
- Simpson’s Methods
- To compute the approximate area under the curve of the given function within the specified limits.
- To visually analyze the shaded region under the plotted function graph to relate the numerical result with the actual function behavior.
- To compare the accuracy of different integration techniques by varying the number of segments and observing the impact on the result.
- To develop an understanding of how numerical integration supports problem-solving when analytical integration is difficult or impossible.
