Laboratory 7 - Creating text data files, downloading files using FTP, and graphing data using MATLAB

In Lab 6 we estimated the area under a sine curve by counting the number of random darts that fell below the curve, and comparing it to the total number falling into the eclosing rectangle. Lab 7 is an extension of Lab 6, in which we will go through the various processes required to graph the data typically obtained from a lab_area program execution, as follows:

This lab has three distinct parts, as follows:

• Files - Extend the program of Lab 6 (lab_area) to include creating two data files:
  sine.data - fifty coordinate points of the sine(x) curve over the range x=[0,pi].
  dart.data - a set of random coordinate points in the enclosing rectangle.
• FTP - Use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to download the two data files from your directory on condor to your local PC.
• MATLAB - Use MATLAB to graph the two sets of data overlaid on a single plot.
