That was my original thought. Even on distorted bilinear quadrilaterals the
Jacobian will be non-constant.
This predates Roy's
I was wondering why default_quadrature_order in fe_type returns
2*order+1? It says in the documentation that the idea is that the
default quadrature rule integrates the mass matrix exactly, so shouldn't
2*order be sufficient?
Using tensor product Gauss quadrature rules, the "+1" doesn't make a
