The best linear approximation involves finding values of a0 and a1 to minimize
Am. J. Phys. 67, 528 (June 1999).Barbara S. Andereck
Carefully read all of chapter 6 in the text.
Then, do problems 6.4 and 6.5.Hand in the written out equations that
you use, showing all work, your results, and the computer program, Mathematica, or Excel worksheet used.
Test covers chapters…1, 2, 3, and 6 of the textbook.
You may prepare both sides of an 8 ½ by 11 inch sheet with equations, examples, notes, or anything else you may wish to have with you. You will need your calculator.
