Guidelines for Submitting Scanned Handwritten Notes and Academic Integrity

A scan of handwritten notes is completely acceptable. Make sure your PDF is easily readable and does not require magnification. Text which is not in focus or is not legible for any other reason will be ignored. If your scan is larger than 20Mb, please see if it can easily be reduced in size (e.g. scan in black & white, use a lower dpi — but not so low that readability is compromised).

Staff are not permitted to answer assessment or teaching queries during the assessment period. If you spot what you think may be an error on the exam paper, note this in your submission but answer the question as written. Where necessary, minor clarifications or general guidance may be posted on Moodle for all students to access.

False Authorship: where you are not the author of the work you submit. This may include submitting the work of another student or submitting work that has been produced (in whole or in part) by a third party such as through an essay mill website. As it is the authorship of an assignment that is contested, there is no requirement to prove that the assignment has been purchased for this to be classed as false authorship.

Collusion: cooperation in order to gain an unpermitted advantage. This may occur where you have consciously collaborated on a piece of work, in part or whole, and passed it off as your  own individual effort or where you authorise another student to use your work, in part or whole, and to submit it as their own. Note that working with one or more other students to plan your assignment would be classed as collusion, even if you go on to complete your assignment independently after this preparatory work. Allowing someone else to copy your work and submit it as their own is also a form of collusion.

Statement of Academic Integrity

By submitting a piece of work for assessment you are agreeing to the following statements:

1. I confirm that I have read and understood the definitions of plagiarism, false authorship and collusion.

2. I confirm that this assessment is my own work and is not copied from any other person’s work (published or unpublished).

3. I confirm that I have not worked with others to complete this work.

4. I understand that plagiarism, false authorship, and collusion are academic offences and I may be referred to the Academic Misconduct Committee if plagiarism, false authorship or collusion is suspected.

Compute the approximate value of the integral from part (a) using the quadrature rule from part (b)i).

What is the error resulting from the approximation of the integral from part (a) using, respectively, SR, CMR, and the quadrature rule from part (b)i)? Whic numerical quadrature formula is the most efficient? Justify your answer.

(c) Construct another numerical integration rule to approximate the integral ? from part

(b) based on integrating the interpolant polynomial of degree ≤ 2 with respect to . Which numerical integration rule does this process yield?
