Maxima by Example Ch. 8 Update



Maxima by Example, Ch. 8, Numerical
Integration Update:

Two files have been added to this section today:

1. simpson.mac contains Maxima code for one
   and two dimensional integration using Simpson's
   one third rule and the midpoint rule.

2.  simpsondem.mac is a batch file which illustrates
    the use of simpson.mac for simple one and two
    dimensional numerical integration.

Sometimes, it is nice to have homemade code
for numerical integration, so one can easily insert
debug information when dealing with a nasty
integral.
