INTEGRAL APPROXIMATION CALCULATION

Abstract

Modern scientific and technological development has made mathematical methods, especially integral calculation techniques, significant in almost all areas of life. The identified integral is used to model any physical, economic, or technical process. However, in many cases, the function is not given analytically, or it is impossible to obtain its exact integral. In such situations, approximate integral calculation methods—such as the trapezoidal method, Simpson's method, and Boole's formula—are applied. This article discusses the practical applications of approximate integral calculation in real life.
