This document discusses Gaussian numerical integration techniques. It describes the Gauss quadrature 2-point and 3-point formulas for numerical integration. The 2-point formula uses two sample points with equal weights of 1 to calculate the integral. The 3-point formula uses three sample points and weights of 5/9, 8/9 and 5/9 to yield more accurate integration over an interval. The document also explains how to apply these formulas when the integral limits differ from [-1,1].
