Dear all,

I am trying to "find the area under the curve f(x)=sin(x)/x for x=1 to
3"

a) Use the trapezoidal rule method. Prove that your trapezoidal rule
method is second order
accurate (using he program)
b) Use the Romberg method. Compare the grid size neccessary to get
convergence to within 1e-8 using TR (part a) versus the Romberg method.

It would be of great help if you guys can programm in C and guide me..

thanks
Anand

We can program in C. We can probably guide you as well.

What we can't and won't do is do your homework for you. Show you've made
an effort (in C) and we can help you with any problems you encounter.

To get you going, go through your numerical analysis textbooks to
identify the methods you mention. Next, revise your C course to date.

Finally, try to actually implement what you learned.

Any C language problems along the way, and good people here will likely
try to help.

I'm sure it would.

Give us your instructor's e-mail address so we can submit our
solutions directly. For an extra fee, we'll mention your name. (Or
perhaps we should charge extra for *not* mentioning your name.)

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

As you will likely soon discover, the majority of regulars aren't big
on doing other peoples' homework for them, especially when you haven't
even given it a try yourself.

Give the problem your best shot, if you have a C language question
along the way feel free to come back with what you have so far. If you
have an algorithm question, consult your calculus book or ask elsewhere
as such discussion is off-topic here.

First of all, x is measured in radians, not inches. It looks like you need
at least three functions plus main. One to compute f(x), one to compute an
integral using the trapezoidal rule, and one to do the same thing via the
Romberg method. That will at least get you started. You might end up
adding some more functions later. Compile often. Start with f(x), it is the
easiest to do. For early debugging, you can change main to select one of
the two methods, one at a time.

I think the problem would be clearer if he had said "slice" size instead of
"grid" size. Where I come from, grids tend to be square.

I don't think your program can "prove" anything, it can demonstrate by
example that something or other might be true.

We are happy to do homework, with advance payment of at least 1/2
day at USD 200 per hour. We also require your instructors e-mail
address for delivery of the result. Certified check or paypal will
suffice. The advance amount will be 800 USD.

You will need to also supply the he program with full
documentation. We only have the she program available.

Who said anything about inches?

I saw the " and took it to be inches, rather than seconds.

The '"' character was a closing quotation mark, matching the opening
quotation mark in front of the word "find".

He quoted the problem text, that double quote you confused for inches,
then seconds, is simply the closing quote of that text, I guess you
missed the opening quote. Twice
