Introduction to Data Modeling with Excel (Cont.)
We used as data the periods (X) of a pendulum versus its
length (Y). We used the same spreadsheet created in the previous class to find
quadratic and linear models for the same set of data.
Logbook
Just to remind that the logbook is a very important
component of the course and will be evaluated, together with the final exam
they count 20% of the course grade.
You should record the logbook on a daily basis, with pages
numbered and dated, about two main topics:
-Discussions
and findings about projects, collectively or individually
-Answers
to questions posted here in the class notes and other learning conclusions you
found by doing activities related to this course.
The next logbook due date is
Logbook questions:
1-
How did you modify your spreadsheet to produce a
quadratic model, what was the s parameter and coefficients a,b,c
for this model?
2-
How did you modify the spreadsheet to produce a linear
model, what was the s parameter and coefficients b,c
for this model?
