Comparison of three quadrature rules

Abstract

In this paper, three quadrature rules for numerical integration are compared: - Boole's rule (Newton-Cotes formula of 4-th order); - Gauss-Legendre; - Tanh-Sinh (Double exponential formula). These rules are applied to the same function, and with the same number of nodes. Calcpad mathematical and engineering platform are used for the calculations. Then, the obtained approximation errors are compared.
