Say the only tool given to you is a calculator which performs addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Let , N = 1020.
Explain a practical way of computing X within an error of 10^8. Roughly how big is X?
Solution:
We will start by remembering one of the definitions of Riemann integral, when the integration interval is (0, 1) and this is covered by an uniform division:
( 1)
If we consider now
( 2)
we will have
( 3)
Thus, for N = big enough, we can state the evaluation:
...
