#2282: gallery examples use low-order integration n Multipole

Reporter: Roland Haas Status: new Milestone: Version: Type: enhancement Priority: minor Component: EinsteinToolkit website

Comment (by Zach Etienne):

A correctly implemented extended midpoint rule should be 2nd-order accurate (Numerical Recipes, Section 4.1), with errors dropping like 1/N^2, where N is the number of subintervals. In addition, on spheres midpoint rule is often preferred as it can avoid sampling on the singular z-axis.
