Abstract
Graphing calculators have become standard equipment in many high school and college math classes. These hand held computers also lend themselves to the analysis of scientific data. The use of multiple linear regression to analyze the IR vibrational spectra data of carbon monoxide and the structural characteristics of amino acids that contribute to beta sheet formation in proteins is demonstrated.
Supplement
Another example to apply the MLR method is available in this issue of JCE Online. This example is also worked out using a Casio CFX 9850 calculator. Some information is included about using menus on the TI-89 calculator.
