Beschreibung: When the Gauss quadrature formula $G_n$ is applied, it is usually assumed that the weight function (or the measure) is non-negative on the integration interval $[a,b]$. In the present paper, we introduce a Gauss-type quadrature formula $Q_n$ for weight functions that change the sign in the interior of $[a,b]$. It proves that all nodes of $Q_n$ are pairwise distinct and contained in the interior of $[a,b]$. Moreover, $G_n$ (with a non-negative weight function) turns out to be a special case of $Q_n$. Obtained results on the remainder term of $Q_n$ suggest that the application of $Q_n$ makes sense both when the points from the interior of $[a,b]$ at which the weight function changes sign are known exactly, as well as when those points are known approximately. The accuracy of $Q_n$ is confirmed by numerical examples.
