Summary

The classical Euler Maclaurin Summation Formula expresses the difference between a definite integral over [0, 1] and its approximation using the trapezoidal rule with step lengthh=1/m as an asymptotic expansion in powers ofh together with a remainder term. Many variants of this exist some of which form the basis of extrapolation methods such as Romberg Integration. in this paper a variant in which the integral is a Cauchy Principal Value integral is derived. The corresponding variant of the Fourier Coefficient Asymptotic Expansion is also derived. The possible role of the former in numerical quadrature is discussed.
