  Trapezium rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The trapezium rule works by approximating the region under the graph of the function f(x) by a trapezium and calculating its area.
The trapezium rule is one of a family of formulas for numerical integration called Newton-Cotes formulas.
Moreover, the trapezium rule tends to become extremely accurate when periodic functions are integrated over their periods, a fact best understood in connection with the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula.

The trapezium rule can be used to find the area under graphs as if it were made up of many adjacent trapeziums.
Trapezium rule will always give an over estimate of the true integration and the fact that there was not many data points only amplifies this overestimate.
The use of trapezium rule to carry out the integrations may have limited the accuracy of answers due to its tendency to overestimate areas.

The trapezoidal rule is a numerical method for integrating a function between two bounds.
This rule states that the area under a curve can be approximated by a trapezium.
The trapezoidal rule may be stated as follows: Divide the base line into any number of equal parts and erect ordinates at the points of division.

 The Trapezium Rule
The trapezium rule is a way of estimating the area under a curve.
We know that the area under a curve is given by integration, so the trapezium rule gives a method of estimating integrals.
The trapezium rule works by splitting the area under a curve into a number of trapeziums, which we know the area of.

Trapezium Rule:  This method uses an arbitrary number of equal subdivisions.

Simpson's Rule is far more accurate that the Trapezium Rule, in general, for essentially the same amount of calculation.

The most widely known of these is the trapezium rule, which is equivalent to performing linear interpolation between the points.
The error in the trapezium rule depends upon the value of the derivatives at the end points, so if these derivatives vanish, or if the function is being integrated over one period, the trapezium rule gives good value for money.
In many cases, they also require the function to be evaluated at less points than the trapezium rule to achieve a given accuracy.

However, the size of the domain would be halved, thus requiring the Trapezium Rule to be evaluated twice and the contributions summed.
The approach is to cover the domain to be integrated with a triangle or trapezium (whichever is geometrically more appropriate) as is shown in figure 17.
The Mid-point rule is an example of this: with just a single function evaluation it obtains the same order of accuracy as the Trapezium Rule (which requires two points).

This implementation of the Trapezium Rule technically should work for an ODE of ANY order.
The idea behind the implementation is to produce a set of trapezium equations for each of the variables that represent the different order derivatives, then to simultaneously solve them to get the new set of values for each of the derivatives and for any y, then continue to get a list of y points.
We have modified the various rules, as we wish to solve Kepler's Equation, which consists of two simultaneous second-order differential equations.

Returning to the possibility of solving the integral equation using the trapezoidal or trapezium rule, let us consider the case of a linear differential equation, such as our examples.
This intrinsic method is 2nd order accurate as that is the accuracy of the trapezoidal rule for integration.
In fact the intrinsic method is also stable for the growth equation when it is analysed as discussed earlier, so that the method is in fact stable for all 3 classes of equations.

You can find out more about the Trapezium Rule if you are not very familiar with it in the Additional Notes, and you can have a go at using it in the next set of tasks if you wish.
Now you should spend some time trying out the Trapezium Rule, if it is unfamiliar to you, and Hardy’s 39a formula on functions you have already met, and then have a go at solving our original problem.
To do this you will need to use the information in the table and graph towards the end of the second part of this talk, together with which ever method of numerical integration you prefer.

Even at this point, you can still apply some simple estimation rules: if your integrand is positive (or negative) then so should your answer be; if your integrand is less than a well-known function, then its integral will be less than the integral of the well-known function.
There are various rules for making an estimate for the integrals of the function based on this data.
This estimate is arrived at (as you might guess from the name) by approximating the area under the graph with trapezia.
