This page isn't linked from Quadrature, although that page does link to Numerical integration. I suspect a cleanup/merge is in order.

Also, somewhere should be mentioned quadrature over a simplex, which is useful for Finite element analysis. BenFrantzDale 04:37, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

I guess I'm not seeing what should be merged. Numerical integration is an overview of the topic, and mentions Gaussian quadrature in passing, along with several other techniques. Further detail is in the Gaussian quadrature article. This is as it should be, no? Wile E. Heresiarch 07:54, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The formula (eq. 25.4.45 of Abramowitz and Stegun) referred to for Laguerre quadrature is incorrect. Or rather it is if the formulae for the Laguerre polynomial in chapter 22 of the same book are used. I suspect the authors of the two chapters have adopted different definitions of the Laguerre polynomials. GeordieMcBain 01:24, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

What printing of A&S? In the tenth printing, eqn 25.4.45 is marked with an asterisk, indicating a correction. [1] And what is wrong about the formula? -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 09:32, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
