  1. Approximate the integral using Simpson’s Method with N=8. Judging from the result that you got, what do you think the value of this integral probably is? You can check this using Maple to get the analytical result.

     f(0) 0
     f( /8) 0.1502794
     f( /4) 0.5553608
     f(3 /8) 1.088419
     f( /2) 1.570796
     f(5 /8) 1.814033
     f(3 /4) 1.666081
     f(7 /8) 1.051956
