My favorite MATLAB demonstration was the "Predicting the US Population" one. It worked with solving for a line of best fit given varying polynomial degrees. I saw some similarities between what they were doing and what we had to do for our line of best fit in lab2, except their function had a lot more polynomial degrees than ours did. It was really cool to see how different the graphs turned out when the polynomial degree changed. It goes to show you how big of an impact on your graph one polynomial degree difference can have. | My favorite MATLAB demonstration was the "Predicting the US Population" one.

My favorite MATLAB demonstration was the "Predicting the US Population" one. It worked with solving for a line of best fit given varying polynomial degrees. I saw some similarities between what they were doing and what we had to do for our line of best fit in lab2, except their function had a lot more polynomial degrees than ours did. It was really cool to see how different the graphs turned out when the polynomial degree changed. It goes to show you how big of an impact on your graph one polynomial degree difference can have.
