/**
* Use Boole's Rule to aproximate the definite integral of a
* function f(x). Our input can support either a set of arrays, or a callback
* function with arguments (to produce a set of arrays). Each array in our
* input contains two numbers which correspond to coordinates (x, y) or
* equivalently, (x, f(x)), of the function f(x) whose definite integral we
* are approximating.
*
* Note: Boole's rule requires that our number of subintervals is a factor
* of four (we must supply an n points such that n-1 is a multiple of four)
* and also that the size of each subinterval is equal (spacing between each
* point is equal).
*
* The bounds of the definite integral to which we are approximating is
* determined by the our inputs.
*
* Example: approximate([0, 10], [2, 5], [4, 7], [6,3]) will approximate the
* definite integral of the function that produces these coordinates with a
* lower bound of 0, and an upper bound of 6.
*
* Example: approximate(function($x) {return $x**2;}, [0, 3 ,5]) will produce
* a set of arrays by evaluating the callback at 5 evenly spaced points
* between 0 and 3. Then, this array will be used in our approximation.
*
* Boole's Rule:
*
* xn ⁿ⁻¹ xᵢ₊₁
* ∫ f(x)dx = ∑ ∫ f(x)dx
* x₁ ⁱ⁼¹ xᵢ
*
* ⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾/⁴ 2h
* = ∑ -- [7f⟮x₄ᵢ₋₃⟯ + 32f⟮x₄ᵢ₋₂⟯ + 12f⟮x₄ᵢ₋₁⟯ + 32f⟮x₄ᵢ⟯ + 7f⟮x₄ᵢ₊₁⟯] + O(h⁷f⁽⁶⁾(x))
* ⁱ⁼¹ 45
* where h = (xn - x₁) / (n - 1)
*
* @param $source The source of our approximation. Should be either
* a callback function or a set of arrays. Each array
* (point) contains precisely two numbers, an x and y.
* Example array: [[1,2], [2,3], [3,4], [4,5], [5,6]].
* Example callback: function($x) {return $x**2;}
* @param numbers ... $args The arguments of our callback function: start,
* end, and n. Example: approximate($source, 0, 8, 4).
* If $source is a set of points, do not input any
* $args. Example: approximate($source).
*
* @return number The approximation to the integral of f(x)
