ABSTRACT

This is an example showing how Scientific WorkPlace is used as an effective tool to do live mathematics and to prepare report. A portion of an Extended Exercise which involves solving a definite integral is used. The existing feature of function definition in the system is manipulated to perform trapezoidal rule.
