Halving each interval is recommended because it allows previous function values to be reused in the next computation, reducing redundant evaluations of the function, which often dominate the runtime.

Conditions: Refinement is by successive bisection of existing subintervals.; Benefit comes from reusing previously computed function values.

Numerical quadrature is the method of calculating integrals using a numerical approach rather than relying on symbolic integration.

Conditions: Applies when an integral is evaluated approximately by computation rather than exactly by analytic antiderivatives.

The three rectangle rules differ only in the choice of sample point used to determine the rectangle height on equal-width subintervals. The left rule uses the left endpoint, the right rule uses the right endpoint, and the midpoint rule uses the center of each subinterval.

Conditions: The subintervals have the same width.; The method approximates area under a curve by sums of rectangles.
