Boole's rule

In mathematics, Boole's rule, named after George Boole, is a method of numerical integration. It approximates an integral by using the values of ƒ at five equally spaced points It is expressed thus in Abramowitz and Stegun (1972, p. 886): and the error term is for some number c between x1 and x5. (945 = 1 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 9.) It is often known as Bode's rule, due to a typographical error that propagated from Abramowitz and Stegun (1972, p. 886). The following constitutes a very simple implementation of the method in Common Lisp which ignores the error term:
