Simpsons-Trapezodial-Rules

This is a C program that uses the tinyexpr library to parse through mathmatical functions, and then uses the Simpsons Trapezodial Rule to approximate the area under the curve.

Description

• This program asks for user input on the number of intervals, the upper and lower bounds, and the function, and which approximation method to use.
• Depending on what the user chooses, program will approximate with either simpsons or trapezoidal rule, and parse through the function using tinyexpr library
• The program supports
  • e.g. x + x^2
  • (x*5)^2
  • (x * 5) / 2
  • Factorials fac 5 == 120
  • the following constants pi, e
