Quadrature (geometry) - Wikipedia In mathematics, quadrature is a historic term for the computation of areas and is thus used for computation of integrals The word is derived from the Latin quadratus meaning "square" The reason is that, for Ancient Greek mathematicians, the computation of an area consisted of constructing a square of the same area
Quadrature | Integral Calculus, Complex Numbers Geometry - Britannica quadrature, in mathematics, the process of determining the area of a plane geometric figure by dividing it into a collection of shapes of known area (usually rectangles) and then finding the limit (as the divisions become ever finer) of the sum of these areas
Numerical Methods I: Numerical Integration Quadrature quadrature is weakly singular at t = ±1, so that the trapezoidal rule is not applicable Of particular interest are the Gauss-Hermite and the Gauss-Laguerre quadrature, which allow the approximation of integrals over infinite intervals (and even solve exactly for polynomials P E P 2n+1)'
