The Error Introduced by The Trapezoidal Rule, And Simpson’ Rule

12/14/2010

The log-log plot shows that the trapezoidal rule has an error convergence rate of other_simp_1.gif, and Simpson’s rule has an error convergence rate of other_simp_2.gif.
The function of the line that best fits the points (log h, log |error|) is given.
