    I never expected such high quality education to be open and available for anyone with no cost. We are indeed blessed. We all should use this gift wisely.
    thank you Doctor Christine, may your days be wonderful always.

  • @DushyanthEdadasula
    @DushyanthEdadasula 5 лет назад +1

    Excellent approach. Easiest of all I've seen. But some viewers might think that the formula is valid only when X1=0. It would have been better if it's explained that one can extend the formula for any number of such points on a curve by shifting the origin to the point in between each time, there by finding intergation of the curve between any two intervals.

    so perfectly explained, I think I actually understand it a bit better now, thanks so much. My teacher goes so fast, skips steps, abreviates like a madman and most of the time I feel like he is speaking a different language. Worst part he never does examples just explains the theory then throws problems at us and expects us to jump right in and do the work! I need to see it done at least once before I am comfortable doing it, thanks so much for posting this video. very helpful.

  • @Farwa60
    @Farwa60 8 лет назад

    Can anyone here explain me why, to apply simpsons' rule, we have to divide the function into n-EVEN no. of intervals? Also, how does the '2' come in the formula?

    • @MusicNewb
      @MusicNewb 7 лет назад +1

      If you haven't found the answer yet, you can look up Simpson's rule: the derivation by PatrickJMT. It is the complete version, and from there u can see why it HAS to be even number of intervals, and you also see where the '2s' come from.
      hope it helps.

  • @FlyBoyGrounded
    @FlyBoyGrounded 13 лет назад

    I get how this works but when do you use it? Looks like you can only derive Simpson's if you already know how to perform definite integration. This is unlike the Trapezoid method which doesn't require any knowledge of integration but allows you to use a laborious method while you wait for integration to be invented. So what is Simpson's Rule for? If it only comes into existence as a by-product of defintite integration, isn't it a step backwards when you could just integrate between two limits?

    But how about the coefficient of 2 in the Simpson's rule?! And why n must be even??
    What if n=4, should the coefficients be 1 4 2 1, or 1 4 4 1 ??

    • @pikcube
      @pikcube 6 лет назад +1

      So if there were 5 points involved (4 regions) instead of 3, then multiple parabolas are needed. Parabola one passes through the first 3 points (y0,y1,and y2) and the second parabola passes through y2,y3, and y4. So we have h/3(y0+4y1+y2)+h/3(y2+4y3+y4). Combining those 2 is where the 2y2 comes from.
      This is also why there must be an even number of regions. A parabola needs 3 points to be defined, so the first parabola needs 3 points (being 2 regions). The next parabola also needs 3 points for its 2 regions, but since it uses a point from the last parabola, only 2 more points need to be added.

    Is it possible or worthwhile to extend this to estimating areas with cubics instead?

    • @andrei-lucianserb1771
      @andrei-lucianserb1771 9 лет назад +4

      +John Smith It is, and it's called Simpson's second rule. You can also use higher degree polynomials, but the initial interval size also increases. For the second rule, you need 3 initial intervals (n is multiple of 3). So even though a higher polynomial will give a better approximation, the interval is larger, so the precision does not increase linearly. For very high degree polynomials, the error gets very large. If the precision and performance are both critical, you often need to find the "sweet spot" for a specific application.

      Symmetry - Ax^2 is a parabola with its vertex on the y-axis. The area on the left side of the y-axis will be exactly the same as on the right.
      This goes for C also. C is just a horizontal line.
