Well that's sorted then, thanks. I assumed based on equation (2.1) that it would be a 15-point rule because (2.1) gives the fifth order quadrature rule defined in arbitrary dimension, and that includes the w_0 term. But they mention that Table 2.1 gives "simplified" versions of the quadrature rules in 2D or 3D, so I guess the w_0 term drops out in this simplified form. > This would also explain why it doesn't match our 15-point rule.
