Day 20 in MAT229

• I hope that you had a good "break". Many of us spent it shoveling, or otherwise occupied with snow-related things. Hopefully you made some snow angels.

• We're in week six. Next week we have our second exam. It will be like the last: a combo of IMath, and something to do on Canvas.

• I guess I finished grading some stuff, but it just keeps coming! Will it never end? I guess it will, around May...:)

• Your Weekly assignment #4 is due today, Wednesday.

• As you learned via email, we're doing another remote lab this week. There's supposed to be another storm blowing in, so Prof. Wilkinson (who has the early lab) and I figured we'd just go ahead and figure that we're going to be shut out of the building (or face a delay, as we did last Thursday).

  The lab will feature commands to help you do these numerical integrations. Also illustrating some of these other techniques that we've been studying.

We will take three different approaches to evaluating an integral, based off of some real data. This will certainly help you with your Weekly assignment!

In particular, how do we do integration when we don't have a "function", only data? (Answer: numerically, of course!)

1. Applied Numerical Integration (pdf)
2. Applied Numerical Integration (nb)
3. Long talks you through some examples of Numerical Integration

• Nothing new.
