"When integrating numerically, if the integrand can be expressed exactly as a polynomial of degree n, over a finite interval; then either Simpson's rule, Romberg integration, Legendre-Gauss or Jacobi-Gauss quadrature formulas provide good results. However, if the integrand can not be expressed exactly as an nth degree polynomial, then perhaps it can be expressed as a function f(x) divided by √1-x 2, or as a function g(x) times (1-x)α (l+x)ß , where α and ß are some real numbers >1, or as a function h(x) times one. If this is the case then the Chebyshev-Gauss, Jacobi-Gauss, and …
