Task goals
- Foundation: Apply the trapezium rule with a given number of equal-width strips to estimate the area under a simple curve from a table of values.
- Proficient: Use Simpson's rule with a specified number of strips to estimate a definite integral, and compare trapezium versus Simpson's estimates for the same function.
- Excellence: Evaluate the accuracy and limitations of numerical integration estimates against the exact integral (where obtainable), and justify strip-number choices or error trends for a given curve shape.
