Abstract The thesis contains four chapters. In chapter I a c’ear summary of the well known methods of numerical io- t~rration such as the trapezoidal and Simpson rules is Given and an approximate upper bound of thr; error in these two methods is derived. Also the method of quadrature fro~ a table of values and the Gauss tWG-pdint and three point integration formulae are giver: in ~ clear and sys- Chapter 11 eives a new method of exp3.nding a defi-nite integral as rals of the form a series. Asymptotic formulae b .
