Two expressions are derived for use in estimating the error in the numerical integration of analytic functions in terms of the maximum absolute value of the function in an appropriate region of regularity. These expressions are then specialized to the case of Gaussian integration rules, and the resulting error estimates are compared with those obtained by the use of tables of error coefficients.
