simp2.m

%               Function simp2
%
%  Two dimensional Simpson's rule over a rectangle.
%  The call is simp2(f,corners) when f is given as an inline function,
%  and simp2('f',corners) when f is given in an mfile. 
%      corners = [a b c d] is a vector of corner coordinates of the
%  rectangle with corners (a,c), (b,c), (b,d), and (a,d). We assume
%  a< b and c < d.
%     After the call the user is asked to enter the number n of 
% subdivisions in the x direction, and the number m of the subdvision
% in the y direction.  n and m must be even.
