Lagrange Interpolation
Lagrange Interpolation allows us to find
f(x) for x values that are not a part of the
dataset.
 Numerical Integration Methods

Simpson’s Rule Trapezoidal Rule

The integral from a to b is Consists of taking the

approximated using a second- infinite sum of small
order Lagrange Polynomial. trapezoids under the curve.
This methods is more efficient
when using higher order
polynomials.

Where n is the number of subintervals, a = x o , b = xn , h = (b-a)/n, and xi = a + ih

➢ First, the user will input a dataset in the form
of a text file or inserting the data to the table.
○ The user will also choose the number of
subintervals, n, and the length of each
subinterval, h. How does this all
➢ Next, the program will apply either the connect?
Trapezoidal or Simpson’s Rule equation,
depending on the user’s choice.

➢ Lastly, the area will be returned from one of

the numerical integration functions and will be
displayed within a text field on the GUI.

➢ All user inputs will be validated.
