While you're waiting...

Aside from grading exams this weekend, I've been playing around with this GREAT game called Fantastic Contraptions. I recommend you all try it and see what you can come up with. Feel free to email me links of any designs you are especially proud of!

Remember that the lab is due on Monday in class.

This is a site for doing all sorts of fun things (including regressions) on the TI-83:

Here is the site for regressions from before - the only difference for quadratic regression is that you will have to select 'Polynomial' and order 2. (A quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of degree 2 in x, meaning the 2 is the highest exponent of x.) In short, this will make the regression be a parabola instead of a line.
