Simpson Rule

"""
Numerical integration or quadrature for a smooth function f with known values at x_i

This method is the classical approach of suming 'Equally Spaced Abscissas'

About us

We are a group of programmers helping each other build new things, whether it be writing complex encryption programs, or simple ciphers. Our goal is to work together to document and model beautiful, helpful and interesting algorithms using code. We are an open-source community - anyone can contribute. We check each other's work, communicate and collaborate to solve problems. We strive to be welcoming, respectful, yet make sure that our code follows the latest programming guidelines.
