4. Construct piecewise linear and cubic splines
5. Derive formulas for Newton-Cotes quadrature in low degrees
6. Derive formulas for Gaussian quadrature in low degrees
7. Bound the error in Newton-Cotes and Gaussian quadrature
8. Use the FEM to approximately solve ODEs
9. Derive the system of equations of the FEM solution with piecewise linear basis functions
