 Roy Haggerty:
This is the second parameter used in the
trigonometric equation in Column B.

Changing this value is equivalent to

changing the spacing between the time data
points. You may modify this and see how
the integration's accuracy changes (as well
as the function).
v0= 1
w= 2
Roy Haggerty:
Numerical integration from A3B3 to A21B21
using trapezoidal rule. This is a more sophisticated way
to implement the same numerical integration as given
along column C, but it saves space and work. Note the
answer is the same as given in cell C21, however.

You may copy the equation from this cell and

implement it in your spreadsheet. Be careful, however,
to modify the first and last cell locations properly
