MacCurveFit



Product Name: MacCurveFit
Level: First Year Tertiary / Second Year Tertiary / Third Year Tertiary / Post-grad
Platform: Macintosh / PowerMacintosh
Supplied Information: MacCurveFit is a program written for scientists, science students or anyone who wants to fit user defined functions to a set of data points. The popular commercial graphics packages allow you to fit linear, polynomial and logarithmic curves to data, but most packages donít let you specify your own equation. However MacCurveFit allows you to fit almost any equation you choose. A trivial but annoying example is fitting a straight line through the origin. Many popular programs fit the equation y = ax + b, however they decide what value to use for b and it isnít necessarily zero. MacCurveFit lets you simply fit the equation y = ax. The program also lets you directly manipulate the coefficients or constrain them to chosen values. MacCurveFit is very flexible in this regard and gives you control over which coefficients will be optimized and even which mathematical algorithm will be used.
Possible Use: This product is suitable for First Year Tertiary / Second Year Tertiary / Third Year Tertiary / Post-grad courses.
