Happy Birthday to Albert and Pi Day to All!

Have you googled today? What did you notice?

Is it just coincidence? Albert Einstein's birthday is today too!

Would you like to hear what the digits of pi translated to music sounds like? Listen to tubular bells. You might also like to try some art based on the digits of pi on the same site.

Who's eyeballed line is going to come closest to the line of best fit?

  3. Well numero9's equation was closer than yours! but her numbers weren't.. oh and miss tan, my equation was closer than yours but interestingly, your numbers (so your eyeball sum of squares) was closer than mine... but yeah. :p

  4. A big difference between the eyeball line and linear regression line is that linear regression uses vertical distance for the deviation and usually you eyeball perpendicular to the line. I'll explain tomorrow.

  5. I still don't understand why my equations were SO CLOSE but my eyeball sum of squares was SO FAR OFF. I'm confused.
