From the Author
New at least-squares approximation? Then give this textbook a try! You will find the solution for data-fitting problems in the beginning of the book. Linear and nonlinear problems are treated jointly. The more you want to learn, the deeper you have to dive into the book. You will find the theory behind the method of least squares as well as the details of modern numerical algorithms. Espacially the latter distinguishes "Data fitting and Uncertainty" from older texts. All discussed techniques rest on an implementation in working source code (ANSI-C), which is provided with the book.From the Inside Flap
