Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a novel perspective on the systematic fitting of curves to observations and measurements, providing both a theoretical and practical framework for the task. Beginning with an exploration of the historical context and theoretical foundations of curve fitting, the author introduces the concepts of the method of least squares and the method of moments, and presents the circumstances under which each is most useful. The book goes on to explore the fitting of parabolic curves to given data, providing detailed instructions for constructing these curves graphically and numerically using a series of examples. The author demonstrates that the number of constants at our disposal is no measure of the goodness of the fit, and emphasizes the importance of choosing a curve that is appropriate to the data. With its focus on clear explanations, practical examples, and a thorough examination of the theoretical underpinnings of curve fitting, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
