Numerical Methods of Integration

We will investigate different numerical methods of estimating the area between a curve and the x-axis. We will look at dividing the area into rectangles, using either the upper value, lower value or midpoint as the height of the rectangle, or trapeziums. You can change the endpoints of the interval by moving points A and B. You can investigate different polynomials by changing the a,b, and c sliders for the quadratic. You can change the number of sub intervals by changing the n slider.
