FAQs on PPT: Numerical Integration - Engineering Mathematics - Civil Engineering (CE)

1. What is numerical integration?
Ans. Numerical integration is a method used to approximate the definite integral of a function by dividing the interval into smaller subintervals and calculating the area under the curve using numerical techniques.
2. Why is numerical integration important in mathematics and engineering?
Ans. Numerical integration plays a crucial role in mathematics and engineering as it allows us to numerically compute the values of definite integrals, which are often difficult or impossible to solve analytically. It is particularly useful in solving real-world problems that involve complex functions and irregular domains.
3. What are the different methods of numerical integration?
Ans. There are several methods of numerical integration, including the trapezoidal rule, Simpson's rule, and Gaussian quadrature. These methods vary in their accuracy and computational complexity and are chosen based on the specific problem at hand.
4. How does the trapezoidal rule work in numerical integration?
Ans. The trapezoidal rule approximates the area under the curve by dividing the interval into trapezoids and summing their areas. It uses linear interpolation between adjacent points to estimate the function values and then calculates the sum of these areas to obtain the approximate integral.
5. What is the error in numerical integration methods?
Ans. The error in numerical integration methods depends on several factors, such as the chosen method, the number of subintervals, and the smoothness of the function being integrated. Generally, as the number of subintervals increases, the error decreases. More advanced methods, like Gaussian quadrature, can achieve higher accuracy compared to simpler methods like the trapezoidal rule.
