This is why we will sometimes split the interval of integration into multiple pieces, causing the approximation to approach the actual value. When we do this, we use the '''Composite Simpson's Rule'''.

This is why we will sometimes split the interval of integration into multiple pieces. When we increase the number of subintervals, the approximation approaches the actual value (see example below). When we do this, we use the '''Composite Simpson's Rule'''.
