C program for Simpson's 1/3 Rule 

Before Starting the program let us know about the Simpson's 1/3 rule and How it works?

Simpson’s 1/3 Rule The trapezoidal rule was based on approximating the integrand by a first-order polynomial and then integrating the polynomial over an interval of integration. Simpson’s 1/3 rule is an extension of the Trapezoidal rule where the integrand is approximated by a second-order polynomial.

Simple Simpsons one third Formula

Composite Simpsons one third formula

Application :

• It is used when it is very difficult to solve the given integral mathematically.
• This rule gives approximation easily without actually knowing the integration rules
