Adaptive quadrature is a technique that automatically determines how many panels to use (and where to put them) so that a numerical integral is computed within the prescribed accuracy. We saw how the truncation error could be estimated, and how this estimate is used in a recursive adaptive trapezoid rule as well as a recursive adaptive Simpson's rule algorithm.
