= Boole's rule
{wiki=Boole's_rule}
Boole's rule, also known as Boole's theorem or Boole's quadrature formula, is a numerical integration method that can be used to approximate the definite integral of a function. It is particularly useful for numerical integration of tabulated data points and is based on the idea of fitting a polynomial to the data and then integrating that polynomial. The rule is named after the mathematician George Boole, known for his contributions to algebra and logic.
