The value of the invariant Q can be obtained by the evaluation of the integration in Eq. (16.4). The integration is usually carried out numerically with the Simpson formula after the intensity data are plotted in the form of I h)h versus h. The invariant Q is equal to the area under the curve. If the particle is in rodlike form. O can also be used to determine the cross-sectional area A ... 

The original Simpson s formula without end correction may be generalized in a similar way as the trapezoidal formula for n = 2 panels, using Ax = (b - a)/2 and increasing k until sufficient accuracy is achieved, where...

The Gregory formula used here has the advantage that it requires no special considerations as to whether or not the integral involves an odd or even number of points, in contrast to other integration formulas such as the composite Simpson s rule. 

Some quadrature formula, such as Simpson s rule, gives the solution faster than does numerical integration of the differential equation by a general method. 

Parabolic Rule (Simpson s Rule) This procedure consists of subdividing the interval a [Pg.298]

A better solution is to use one of the many existing quadrature formulas—algebraic expressions that provide estimates of the integrals of tabulated data. Several such formulas are presented and illustrated in Appendix A.3 the use of one of them, Simpson s rule, is required for the integration of heat capacity data in several problems at the end of this chapter. 

The many existing quadrature formulas differ only in the choice of functions to fit to the data points. Two of the simplest approximations are to fit straight lines between successive points and sum the area under the lines, and to fit parabolas to successive triplets of points and sum the areas under the parabolas. These approximations lead to the quadrature formulas known respectively as the trapezoidal rule and Simpson s rule. We will discuss each in turn. 

When you have an analytical expression for an integrand y(x) but you cannot perform the integration from jr = a to -c = b analytically, the procedure is to evaluate y at a series of values of X from a to b—that is, to generate a data table—and then to use a quadrature formula such as Simpson s rule to estimate the integral. Now, however, you have the choice of the number of evaluations of y(x) to make.

Simpson s 3/8 rule is derived by integrating a third-order polynomial interpolation formula. For a domain (a,b) divided into three intervals, it is expressed as ... 

Values of y , y , y 2 and y 3 are required to caleulate y , . Milne s method uses Newton-Cotes formula for the predictor and Simpson s rule for the corrector. 

In order to integrate we use Simpson s formula. We obtain U and a as we would like to see it, with the help of a four-point interpolation following Lagrange s method. 

The standard log-derivative propagator now corrects for the difference between U and using a Simpson-mle integration. The specific formulas are... 

To provide for the alternating multiplication factors of 2 and 4 in equation 2.2, the spreadsheet design needs to include a conditional multiplier for the construction of the Simpson s rule integration as a sum over the projected values on the mesh points. MOD() is one of the functions available in the library of the function wizard in EXCEL, which is activated by the toolbar icon f. MOD() returns the remainder in a division. The presence or absence of such a remainder, then, permits a logical operator such as the IF() operator to be triggered as TRUE or FALSE. For example, for TRUE the cell entry can be set to 2, for FALSE the entry can be set to 4 and this procedure enables the various multiplications in equation 2.2. Thus, enter the formula... 

This exercise is an extension of the previous one and so the first step is to make a copy of fig2-2.xls. Then as you see in Figure 2.3, to provide for different integration meshes we need extra columns of Simpson s rule multiplier entries. The column D entries are as before, but for the other columns we need to allow cell entries equal to 0, as well. Thus, for example, the formula in cell E3 is... 

In column GV the first sets of Simpson s rule integrations are carried out over the z-mesh for each point on the. v-mesh. These integrals are transformed to values over the circles defined in Figure 2.5 and multiplied by the same factors to return the final integral in cell GU 13. Thus, the formula entry in cell GV 13 is...

This chapter contains relatively simple NMR unknown problems. The molecular weight or empirical formula of the molecule is sometimes given, and it is up to the reader to elucidate the structure of the unknown.
