Simpson versus Trapezoidal method used for integration - The Trapezoidal method is compared with the Simpson method, both using Richardson extrapolation - Messages
Hi, I was trying to understand how to use the numerical integration with the Simpson and Trapezoidal method. I could also explain the difference between the two methods, based on an example found in the forum.
I also applied the numerical integration to found the flow rate of a pump during the start up and shut down processes, which is useful to some degree for many engineers.
Trapeze suits better certain functions vs Simpson. The converse is true: Simpson fits better certain function vs Trapeze. Romberg/Simpson kernel is a much different story. It converts the range of the variate of integration [0 ..1] Last example: Trapeze better than Simpson ... poor vs ∫kernel. Cheers ... Jean.
