Abstract
In this chapter we consider numerical methods for differentiation and integration. Both of these problems may be approached in the same way. A function f, known either explicitly or as a set of data points, is replaced by a simpler function. A polynomial p is the obvious choice of approximating function, since the operations of differentiation and integration are then easily performed.
