If you don't implement Adaptive Quadrature in problem one, then you
can use the code provided on the book website.
You should implement everything else yourself.

Take the results for adaptive quadrature to be correct to the accuracy
that you ask for, since that's gauranteed. This way you can have something
that is pretty close to exact if you choose your tolerance small enough
(say 1e-10). You can check how long this takes as a measure of efficiency.

The other methods are really efficient, so just measure the accuracy by
comparing the values with the values you get from part (a).
If one of them gives you good answers for a while, and then gives you nonsense
answers, then that is unstable.
