- Numerical (approximate) integration
- We were working on the numerical
integration handout, which emphasizes the error term message:
- Compute estimates on the sheet by hand.
- Check calculations on the calculator.

- Check that we get the same things using the averages
- Calculate the true value of the integral, and compare to the
approximations. What's surprising?
- Examples:
- Improper Integration (section 7.8)

- Here's
a nice summary of Numerical Integration, focused on the use of Mathematica to
illustrate them. Interesting even if you don't use Mathematica. By the
