Greg, For this sort of problem a spreadsheet program becomes really very handy even though the human eye can surprisingly well estimate such (linear) regression lines. On your Mac the spreadsheet program seems to be Works which I don't know. May be there is an other Mac-user on NavList who can give you some hints on how such polynomial regressions can be calculated with a few clicks. Or, as in the case of the arc-tan-function, how to find the solution using the equivalent of what "Solver" does in Excel. Marcel
