In the end, I decided on my version (or something similar) as
better.  I used the obvious metric for a numerical algorithm, for
the same result it was faster.

Short of checking my reference books for one error estimate, I am
now content with my versions of Simpson's method for 1 and 2
variables.

Having looked at the Simpson's method routine that comes with
Axiom, I expect it to be faster, but the convenience of using
integrate() like syntax is a plus for me.  Of course, because of
operator overloading, I get to have both.

I really appreciate the help.
