- 1.
- Use the Maple command trapezoid to check your answers to
the previous problem, and then use the last two estimates (with
4 and 8 intervals) to generate an improved estimate by Richardson's
extrapolation.
- 2.
- Calculate the absolute error of this estimate. What is the
order of this error term (power of h)?
