	Thomas Simpson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Simpson (August 20, 1710 – May 14, 1761) was a British mathematician, inventor and eponym of Simpson's rule to approximate definite integrals.
		Apparently, the method that became known as Simpson's rule was well known and used earlier by Bonaventura Cavalieri (a student of Galileo) in 1639, later rediscovered by James Gregory, and was only attributed to Simpson.

	Simpson's rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Simpson's rule works by approximating f(x) by the quadratic polynomial P(x) which takes the same values as f(x) at a, b, and the midpoint m=(a+b)/2.
		We see that Simpson's rule provides an adequate approximation if the interval of integration [a,b] is small, which does not happen most of the time.
		The obvious solution is to split the interval of integration in small subintervals, apply Simpson's rule on each subinterval, and add up the results.
