kinematics - Getting position from an accelerometer on an Android phone


I know that integrating acceleration twice will give me position (acceleration-->velocity-->position) but how can I do all this when I all I have are a set of data points (ex: 1 second = some # m/s^2); how can I take these data points and integrate them?


Does this have something to do with numerical integration?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
