Simpson's rule.
The applets in unarchived form
Use these links if you are using Netscape
Navigator 3, or another browser that does not understand the "archive" tag,
and the applets will be downloaded the old-fashioned way: one class at a time.
Applet on Riemann sums for integrals
of a single variable.
Applet on the quadtratic approximation used in
Simpson's rule.
Projects and experiments for use with these applets
The following links are to pdf files outlining mathematical experiments designed
to be done with these applets. Since several of the applets are on closely related subjects,
some of these experiments involve the use of two or more of the applets, while others
just use one.

Experiments with Riemann Sums
This project
is designed to lead to a deeper understanding of Riemann sums and their ralation to the integral.
Project resources
The questions to be explored and answered.
Notes and hints on use of the applets for studying these questions.
Experiments with Simpson's Rule
This project
is designed to lead to a deeper understanding of why Simpson's rule gives a much better approximation
than the trapezoidal rule in numerical integration.
