+== a) & b)
+
+using the trapezoidal rule we can estimate
+$
+  (1) quad I_[0,1][exp] := integral_0^1 e^x dd(x), wide
+  (2) quad I_[0,1][ln] := integral_0^1 ln(x) dd(x)
+$
+
+let us solve both analytically first, starting with $(1)$
+$
+  integral_0^1 e^x dd(x) = evaluated(e^x)_0^1 = e - 1
+$
+then $(2)$
+$
+  integral_0^1 ln(x) dd(x) & = [x ln(x) - 1/2 dot x^2 / x - 1/6 dot x^3 / x^2
+                               - 1/12 dot x^4 / x^3 - dots.c]_0^1 \
+                           & = -underbracket((1/2 + 1/6 + 1/12 + dots.c), 1)
+                             - cancel(lim_(t -> 0) t ln(t)) \
+                           & = -1,
+$
+because with $p(x) = x^2 + 3 x + 2$ we get
+$
+  2 + 6 + 12 + dots.c = p(0) + p(1) + dots.c
+$
+so we can compute the telescope sum
+$
+  sum_(k=0)^oo 1/p(k) & = sum_(k=0)^oo 1/(k^2 + 3 k + 2) \
+                      & = sum_(k=0)^oo 1/((k+1)(k+2)) \
+                      & = sum_(k=0)^oo (1/(k+1) - 1/(k+2)) \
+                      & = 1 - cancel(1/2 + 1/2) - cancel(1/3 + 1/3) + dots.c \
+                      & = 1.
+$
+
+now we know what to expect from our estimates.
+
+recall the trapezoidal rule
+$
+  // I_[a, b][f] approx T_[a, b][f] := (b-a)/2 (f(b) - f(a))
+  I_[a, b][f] approx T_[a, b][f] := (b-a)/2 sum_(i=0)^(n-1) (f(x_(i+1)) - f(x_i))
+$
+
+in our case $a = 0$ and $b = 1$. for $(1) med f(x) = e^x$ we obtain
+$
+  T_[0, 1][exp] = 1/2 (e - 1),
+$
+which yields an error of
+$
+  e - 1 - 1/2 (e - 1) = 1/2 (e - 1).
+$
+
+for $(2) med f(x) = ln(x)$ we obtain
+$
+  T_[0, 1][ln] = 1/2 (lim_(t->0) ln(t) - ln(1)) = 1/2 (-oo - 0) = -oo
+$
+which yields an error of $oo$.
+
+thus we can see that using the trapezoidal rule for $ln(x)$ diverges and proves
+to be unwieldy. for $exp(x)$ we can see that it was off by half the actual
+value.
+
+
+== c)
+
+recall the upper bound of the error for the trapezoidal rule
+$
+  abs(E_[a,b][f]) <= (b-a)^3 / 12 dot max_(xi in [a,b]) abs(f''(xi))
+$
+which is for $f = exp$
+$
+  E_[0, 1][exp] = e/12 approx #{ calc.round(calc.e / 12, digits: 3) }
+$
+as opposed to our previous $1/2 (e - 1)
+= #{ calc.round((calc.e - 1) / 2, digits: 3) }$.

+= problem 3
+
+== a)
+
+to find an orthogonal basis $p_j (x)$ from the given canonical basis
+$
+  #let phi = $phi.alt$
+  phi_0(x) equiv 1, med
+  phi_1(x) = x, med
+  phi_2(x) = x^2, med
+  phi_3(x) = x^3,
+$
+we can use the gram-schmidt process.
+
+recall that
+$
+  p_j (x) = phi_j (x) - sum_(k=0)^(j-1) {(integral_0^1 phi_j (x) p_k (x) dd(x))
+    /(integral_0^1 [p_k (x)]^2 dd(x))} p_k (x),
+$
+and notice that $p_0(x) equiv 1$.
+
+thus we obtain
+$
+  p_1(x) & = phi_1(x) - (integral_0^1 phi_1(x) p_0(x) dd(x))
+           / (integral_0^1 [p_0(x)]^2 dd(x)) p_0 (x) \
+         & = x - (integral_0^1 x dd(x))/(integral_0^1 dd(x))
+           = x - 1/2, \
+  p_2(x) & = phi_2(x) - (integral_0^1 phi_2(x) p_1(x) dd(x))
+           / (integral_0^1 [p_1(x)]^2 dd(x)) p_1 (x) \
+         & - (integral_0^1 phi_2(x) p_0(x) dd(x))
+           / (integral_0^1 [p_0(x)]^2 dd(x)) p_0 (x) \
+         & = x^2 - (integral_0^1 x^2 (x - 1/2) dd(x))
+           / (integral_0^1 [x-1/2]^2 dd(x)) (x - 1/2) \
+         & - (integral_0^1 x^2 dd(x)) / (integral_0^1 dd(x))
+           = x^2 - x + 1/6 \
+  p_3(x) & = limits(dots)^#[magic] = x^3 - 3/2 x^2 + 3/5 x - 1/20
+$
+
+== b)
+
+we perform polynomial division to find the remaining two roots and obtain
+$
+  p_3 (x) : (x - 1/2) = x^2 - x + 1/10 \
+  => x = 1 / 2 plus.minus 1/2 sqrt(3/5)
+$
+
+so
+$
+  x_0 & = 1/2 - 1/2 sqrt(3/5), \
+  x_1 & = 1/2, \
+  x_2 & = 1/2 + 1/2 sqrt(3/5).
+$
+
+
+== c)
+
+let
+$
+  w_i = integral_0^1 ell_i (x) dd(x)
+$
+with
+$
+  ell_k (x) = product_(i = 0\ i != k)^(n - 1) (x - x_i) / (x_k - x_i)
+$
+where $n - 1 = 2$ since $k = 0, 1, 2$.
+
+computing the cardinal polynomials, we obtain
+$
+  ell_0(x) & = (x - x_1) / (x_0 - x_1) dot (x - x_2) / (x_0 - x_2)
+             // = (x^2 - x_1 x - x_2 x + x_1 x_2) / (x_0^2 - x_1 x_0 - x_2 x_0 + x_1 x_2)
+             = (1 - 2 x) / sqrt(3/5) dot (x - 1/2 + 1/2 sqrt(3/5)) / sqrt(3/5) \
+           & = (5 (x - 1/2 + 1/2 sqrt(3/5) - 2x^2 - x + x sqrt(3/5)))/3 \
+           & = 5 / 3 (-2 x^2 + sqrt(3/5) x + 1/2 sqrt(3/5) - 1/2) \
+  ell_1(x) & = (x - x_0) / (x_1 - x_0) dot (x - x_2) / (x_1 - x_2)
+             = (2 x - 1 + sqrt(3/5))/(sqrt(3/5)) dot (2 x - 1 + sqrt(3/5)) / sqrt(3/5) \
+$
