Entering Experimental Data

The program that integrates the data set requires that the data is ordered by the value of the independent variable. That is, if the data set is (t0,P0), (t1,P1), ..., (tn,Pn) then we require that t0 < t1 < ... < tn.

Each row should contain only one data point. The ordinate and abscissa should be separated by whitespace.

For Simpson's rule, there must be an odd number of data points. If an even number of data points are present, then a modified version of Simpson's Rule is used.
