The Power of JavaScript: A Numerical Integration Example

[D. P. Story]

FYI: I've just uploaded a "hands-on" file for (my) students in
Calculus. This PDF file calculates the value of a definite integral
using any one of two numerical procedures: The Trapezoidal Rule and
Simpson's Rule. The function, the limits of integration, the method
used, etc., are determined by the user, that's you.

From the programming point of view, the file illustrates the power of
JavaScript to make calculations. It also illustrates how to write a
table of formatted data to a multiline text field. I must say, much
more could be done (with regard to writing formatted data) with
a full featured util.printf method.

Comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Your file was amazing how did you code the raphson method sir? Our project in numerical method is to code the newton raphson using javascript or any programming languages, can you teach me how to work on the functions and loopings and also the logic behind your code. It will be a big help as well for me to study your code sir and have the htlm file if you will allow me to have it. Hope my message will reach you . thankyou and god bless.
