* @title Composite Simpson's rule for definite integral evaluation
* @author: [ggkogkou](https://github.com/ggkogkou)
* @brief Calculate definite integrals using composite Simpson's numerical method
*
* @details The idea is to split the interval in an EVEN number N of intervals and use as interpolation points the xi
* for which it applies that xi = x0 + i*h, where h is a step defined as h = (b-a)/N where a and b are the
* first and last points of the interval of the integration [a, b].
*
* We create a table of the xi and their corresponding f(xi) values and we evaluate the integral by the formula:
* I = h/3 * {f(x0) + 4*f(x1) + 2*f(x2) + ... + 2*f(xN-2) + 4*f(xN-1) + f(xN)}
*
* That means that the first and last indexed i f(xi) are multiplied by 1,
* the odd indexed f(xi) by 4 and the even by 2.
*
* N must be even number and a<b. By increasing N, we also increase precision
*
