Curve Fitting via the Criterion of Least Squares (UMAP)
Author: John W. Alexander Jr.
In this module students will: 1) construct scatter diagrams; 2) choose an appropriate function to fit specific data; 3) understand the underlying theory of the method of least squares; 4) use a computer program to do desired curve-fitting; and 5) use augmented matrix approach to solve simultaneous equations.
