Hi there, I'm trying to integrate some experimental data. I'm sure that what I'm doing is not the best or most convenient way, but I think it should work. I read the data in using the import assistant, which put it into a 2d matrix. I then manipulated that matrix. This is heat capacity data (for those of you familiar with physical chemistry), and I'm baselining the h.c. data to zero before I integrate it. This hasn't presented any problems for me, and it (seems to) give the expected result. When I integrate this baselined data, however, the integrated curve (enthalpy) at low values of x is not close to zero; it is much bigger. The integrated curve's topology is what I'd expect, it is horizontal at small x values. It is just off of zero by some (large) constant. My data starts at about 300, ends at 360.
