Description
The integral is a tool of Calculus that breaks large, complicated problems into manageable segments. However, instances arise when an integral equation becomes challenging or even impossible to solve. So in order to solve such problems, we today can utilize the power of modern computing. By having a program run numerical integration on such problems, we can approximate integrals to an extremely high degree of precision. In this poster we will discuss how numerical integration works and observe its utility by creating a computer program that models various aspects of a rocket’s flight. In addition, the elementary physics necessary to understand the scope of this problem will be introduced.
