Problem 1.4

This problem requires you to perform a least-squares fit of some data. I suggest that you use Matlab for the computer problems in this course.

To help you get used to Matlab, I am providing you with a detailed Matlab session for problem 1.4. This session will introduce you to several Matlab commands and shows all the calculations needed to solve problem 1.4. The solution you hand in should not contain all these details, but should include some concise text to explain how you solved this problem.
