Is Gauss quadrature better than Clenshaw-Curtis?

We compare the convergence behavior of Gauss quadrature with that of its younger brother, Clenshaw-Curtis. Seven-line MATLAB codes are presented that implement both methods, and experiments show that the supposed factor-of-2 advantage of Gauss quadrature is rarely realized. Theorems are given to exp...
