American University of Sharjah: NGN 509 - Computational Methods Professor Nai-Shyong Yeh Assignment #2

This document is an assignment submission for a computational methods course. It contains plots of data with polynomial approximations of varying degrees (n=1,3,5) and a cubic spline. It also contains the coefficients for a third-order polynomial approximation of some data and the calculation of the standard deviation of that approximation. Questions ask to explain aspects of fitting data and calculating standard deviation.

Code is in the m-file. From the code, you get: a0 = 0.0033, a1 = 0.4970, a2 = -0.2738, a3 = 0.0511
so the third-order polynomial is: p3(x) = 0.0033 + 0.4970 x - 0.2738 x2 + 0.0511 x3
