MapProjectionDemonstration vs Polynomial Regression

Map Projection Demonstration This app illustrates a variety of possible map projections. Map projections fall into three general categories: cylindrical projections, conic projections, and azimuthal (or polar) projections. Each category contains several different types of projections. The app demonstrates the creation of maps in 31 different projections, and allows the user to choose the central latitude and longitude for each map. The formulas that are used to convert locations on the surface of a sphere to locations on a flat map are included. There is also a visual demonstration of the conversion process for each of the map types.

Polynomial Regression is your calculator and, more importantly, learning tool. You will be able to: * Construct polynomials of up to 20 degrees from either real or complex roots. * Interpolate polynomials from points by Lagrange, Newton or Vandermonde methods and Quadratic or Cubic splines. * Perform Least Squares approximation by orthogonal projection, with or without QR factorization, or partial derivatives. * Learn about each of the algorithms with derivations, proofs, step by step demonstrations, and visual tools. * Have an option to enter data by either typing or tapping on XY plane, and save data sets between program runs.
