Interactive video lesson plan for: Trapezoidal Rule & Simpson's Rule Estimating Definite Integrals READ DESCRIPTION

I introduce how to estimate a definite integral using the Trapezoidal Rule buy using our knowledge of basic Geometry, give you the rule and then work through a second example using information from a table. I also how to determine if the Trapezoidal Rule will under or over estimate a definite integral at 21:02 I then introduce the Simpson's Rule and work through one more example.

Example of Trapezoidal Rule at 7:06
