Numerical integration

ID: numerical-integration

Numerical integration is a computational technique used to estimate the value of a definite integral when an analytical solution is difficult or impossible to obtain. It involves approximating the area under a curve defined by a mathematical function over a specified interval. This is particularly useful for functions that are complex, have no closed-form antiderivative, or are only known through discrete data points. There are various methods of numerical integration, each with its own advantages and limitations.
