I want to know how to use Simpson2D rule. I got confused, because on http://mathfaculty.fullerton.edu/mathews/n2003/simpsons2Drule/SimpsonsRule2DMod/Links/SimpsonsRule2DMod_lnk_5.html it gives the rule as Simpson2D[a,b,c,d,m,n] where c, d are lower and upper limits of the integration dx, and a, b are lower and upper limits of the integration dy. From the context it seems the function must be in the form of f(x,y). However, when I use the rule, to find out
va1=Simpson[a,b, c. d,m, n],
a=0, b=1.26, c=0.17,d=0.44, m=10,n=10
I got an answer
Smpson2D[1, 1.2, 0.17, 0.44, 10, 10]
I want to know: 1. how to specify the function, does it have to have the form f(x,y) 2. How to write the syntax. For example, if f(x,y)= Sin[x] Cos[y], integrate from x=0 to 1, from y=0.1 to 0.2. how to write the syntax so that I can get a numerical answer answer. This is my actual file. Only the last 6 entries deals with the use of Simpson2D Your help will be much appreciated. Hong-Yee Chiu, hongychiu@gmail.com
