Numerical integration, also known as numerical quadrature or numerical approximation of integrals, is a mathematical technique used to compute the approximate value of a definite integral of a function over a specified interval. It involves dividing the integration interval into smaller segments, approximating the function within each segment, and then summing up these approximations to estimate the integral's value. Numerical integration is particularly useful when analytical or exact solutions for integrals are difficult or impossible to obtain, and it plays a crucial role in various fields, including physics, engineering, computer science, and scientific computing, for solving problems that involve complex or non-standard functions.
