  2. Gaussian Quadrature Trapezoid rule: two points, exact for all the polynomials of degree at most 1. Simpson’s rule: three points, exact for all the polynomials of degree at most 3.

  3. In general, (n+1) equally distributed points, are exact for polynomial of degree at most n (for n odd) or n+1 (for n even). Question:Can we select the (n+1) points such that, the numerical integration formula is exact for the polynomials of degree higher than (n+1)?

  4. Example: Take Check the numerical integration formula is exact for all polynomial of degree less than or equal to 1. Example: Take Check the numerical integration formula is exact for all polynomial of degree less than or equal to 3.

  5. Theorem (Theorem on Gaussian Quadrature): Suppose is orthogonal to all polynomials of degree in the sense Then the numerical integration formula will be exact for all polynomials of degree Answer: Yes!! we should choose such that they are the zeros of a polynomial, which is orthogonal to all polynomials of degree
