Abstract

In this poster, we will first examine polynomial interpolation. Interpolation allows us to construct a polynomial through a given set of data points. Interpolation is also used to develop the Newton-Cotes formulas, which are methods for numerical integration, or quadrature, that can approximate more complicated definite integrals. But, there is a way to arrive at even more precise approximations, and we will discover this through a discussion of Gaussian Quadrature.
