[R] Calculate area under a curve

[stephen sefick]

Don't sorry about n it is only necessary for using a and b which are
the upper and lower limit of integration and n is the # of
sub-intervals.  You can ignore all else and use x and y.  I will fix
the documentation soon.  I did a rather bad job on that help document.
kindest regards,

Stephen Sefick

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods.  We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
