Mid-ordinate Rule is another method used to find the approximate area under a graph. Since integration between two limits also gives the area under a graph then the Mid-ordinate Rule can often be used as a way of finding an approximate value of a definite integral. It is an improvement on the trapezium rule which tends to work well when the curve is nearly linear but offers an alternative to Simpson’s rule.
