Abstract:
In this paper we make a comparison between the Newton’s Cote’s quadrature method and Stirling quadrature method. The
numerical quadrature rules related to the Stirling interpolation polynomial are developed as opposed to the commonly used
Newton’s interpolation polynomial. This is done for the case n = 1 and n = 2. The Newton’s Cote’s and Stirling’s quadrature
methods are compared by making good use of well known integrals for the two cases n = 1 and n = 2. It is found that the
Newton Cote’s formula provides better accuracy than the Stirling’s quadrature formula.
