Boole's rule

Boole's rule is a method of numerical quadrature arising in calculus, and named after George Boole. Boole's rule and the composite Boole rule approximate the area under a curve over a fixed interval using 5 equally spaced points, and is designed to exactly integrate 5th-order polynomials over that interval. It is a member of the Newton–Cotes family of rules.
