Composite Simpson's 3/8 rule is even less accurate. Integration by Simpson's 1/3 rule can be represented as a weighted average with 2/3 of the value coming from integration by the trapezoidal rule with step h and 1/3 of the value coming from integration by the rectangle rule with step 2h. The accuracy is governed by the second (2h step) term.
Simpson's rule, which is based on a polynomial of order 2, is also a Newton–Cotes formula. Quadrature rules with equally spaced points have the very convenient property of nesting. The corresponding rule with each interval subdivided includes all the current points, so those integrand values can be re-used.
Simpson's rules are used to calculate the volume of lifeboats, [6] and by surveyors to calculate the volume of sludge in a ship's oil tanks. For instance, in the latter, Simpson's 3rd rule is used to find the volume between two co-ordinates. To calculate the entire area / volume, Simpson's first rule is used. [7]

Adaptive Simpson's method, also called adaptive Simpson's rule, is a method of numerical integration proposed by G.F. Kuncir in 1962. [1] It is probably the first recursive adaptive algorithm for numerical integration to appear in print, [ 2 ] although more modern adaptive methods based on Gauss–Kronrod quadrature and Clenshaw–Curtis ...
The zeroeth extrapolation, R(n, 0), is equivalent to the trapezoidal rule with 2 n + 1 points; the first extrapolation, R(n, 1), is equivalent to Simpson's rule with 2 n + 1 points. The second extrapolation, R(n, 2), is equivalent to Boole's rule with 2 n + 1 points. The further extrapolations differ from Newton-Cotes formulas.
Homer Simpson’s reported decision to stop strangling his son, Bart, has fans talking — at least on the Internet. That’s where everyone, of course, has an opinion.
Polynomial interpolation also forms the basis for algorithms in numerical quadrature (Simpson's rule) and numerical ordinary differential equations (multigrid methods). In computer graphics , polynomials can be used to approximate complicated plane curves given a few specified points, for example the shapes of letters in typography .
