I use gnuplot for plotting data and fitting curves to data. Here are some links to various handouts and useful web sites.
| | Handouts, tutorials, and guides |
| Introduction to gnuplot | I use this handout with my first-year physics students to teach them how to plot data (with or without a smooth curve drawn through the data points) and fit the data to a function such as y=mx+b. |
| gnuplot primer | I use this handout with my upper level electronics students. It illustrates a number of commands and is a nice reference. |
| | Useful web sites |
| GnuPlot Home | The best place to download gnuplot software and find documentation. |
| gnuplot on Mac OS X | Help for installing gnuplot on Mac OS X |
| Duke gnuplot tutorial | A nice tutorial from the Duke engineering school |
| UNL Introduction to gnuplot | University of Northern Iowa gnuplot tutorial |
