For degree-n functions, definite integral over (a,b) is ((b - a) / (3*n)) * (sum from k = 0 to k = n of c * f(a + k * (b - a) / n)), where n is even integer, c = 4 if k is odd, c = 2 if k is even, and c = 1 if k = 0 {Simpson's rule} {Simpson rule}. Error is less than or equal to M * (b - a)^5 / (180 * n^4), where M is less than or equal to fourth-derivative absolute value.
