Another approach to numerical integration is Simpson’s rule, which divides the
integration range b-a into an even number of sections and uses a different
quadratic function to represent the integrand for each panel. A quadratic
function has three parameters, and Simpson’s rule computes these parameters by
requiring that the quadratic pass through the function’s three points
corresponding to the two adjacent panels. To obtain greater accuracy, we can
use polynomials of degree higher than 2.
Flesch reading ease = 25.7
Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level = 15.8
This test rates text on a U.S. school grade level. For example, a score of 8.0 means that an
eighth grader can understand the document. For most documents, aim for a score of
approximately 7.0 to 8.0.
The formula for the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level score is:
(.39 x ASL) + (11.8 x ASW) – 15.59
where:
ASL = average sentence length (the number of words divided by the number of sentences)
ASW = average number of syllables per word (the number of syllables divided by the number of
words)
