    This example demonstrates the usage of the numerical quadrature function
    integrate_function_adapt_simp().  This function takes as input a single variable
    function, the endpoints of a domain over which the function will be integrated, and a
    tolerance parameter.  It outputs an approximation of the integral of this function over
    the specified domain.  The algorithm is based on the adaptive Simpson method outlined in: 

        Numerical Integration method based on the adaptive Simpson method in
        Gander, W. and W. Gautschi, "Adaptive Quadrature – Revisited,"
        BIT, Vol. 40, 2000, pp. 84-101
