Calculator for determining the lethality (F, value) of a thermal process using the trapezoid and Simpson's rules

This calculator has been designed to work with pasted time and temperature values from a data logger or individual keyboard inputs. It is unique in that users can compare F values obtained by integrating time / lethality values using the trapezoid rule with the more accurate Simpson's 1/3 and 3/8 rules.
