Gaussian quadrature, an Uncommon card
In numerical analysis, an n-point Gaussian quadrature rule, named after Carl Friedrich Gauss, is a quadrature rule constructed to yield an exact result for polynomials of degree 2n − 1 or less by a suitable choice of the nodes xi and weights wi for i = 1,..., n.

Gaussian quadrature quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Gaussian quadrature card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
This exact rule is known as the Gauss–______ quadrature rule.
Answer
Legendre. This exact rule is known as the Gauss–Legendre quadrature rule. From the Gaussian quadrature article on Wikipedia.
In which decade?
The modern formulation using orthogonal polynomials was developed by Carl Gustav Jacobi in ____.
Answer
1820s. The modern formulation using orthogonal polynomials was developed by Carl Gustav Jacobi in 1826. From the Gaussian quadrature article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Gaussian quadrature. Gaussian quadrature 74 · Escape velocity 69 · System 66 · Oak processionary 62 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The modern formulation using orthogonal polynomials was developed by Carl Gustav Jacobi in 1826.
- The most common domain of integration for such a rule is taken as [−1, 1], so the rule is stated as ∫ − 1 1 f d x ≈ ∑ i = 1 n w i f, which is exact for polynomials of degree 2n − 1 or less.
- This exact rule is known as the Gauss–Legendre quadrature rule.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gaussian quadrature article was read about 83,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 43: each hit it takes is cut by 17 %.
How to get Gaussian quadrature
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
