3.7 Linear Equations and Curve Fitting

Linear Equations and Curve FittingLinear algebra has important applications to the common scientific problem of representing empirical data by means of equations or functions of specified types. We give here only a brief introduction to this extensive subject.

Typically, we begin with a collection of given data points $(x_{0}, y_{0}), (x_{1}, y_{1}), \dots, (x_{n}, y_{n})$ that are to be represented by a specific type of function $y = f (x) .$ For instance, y might be the volume of a sample of gas when its temperature is x. Thus the given data points are the results of experiment or measurement, and we want to determine the curve $y = f (x)$ in the xy-plane so that it passes through each of these points; see Figure 3.7.1. Thus we speak of “fitting” ...

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
