This semester started alright, in fact, is our second year in USM! At a glance everybody is busy with their club, all except me, for now. Man, this semester sure rockzz, as you can see, we have a few lecturers here with history of having a high failure rate in their respective subject. So this means even the best will fall like tumbling towers right? See lo, may be yes may be no, some said I cannot fail but dunno why I say I may fail.

Just joking. By the way just wanted to let you guys know that you aren’t owned yet. “Don’t give up at the beginning”( dunno which grandmother story is this), that is something we can do. Btw, how are everyone who stay at Sungai Dua? Even we live apart but you guys got Shyue Piin so your studies got no problem right? Hope everyone can sleep well there…

Back to business here so now we have our time table, we ought to make some preparations for the future, i.e. prepare for the worst in this case, coz we know is easily to got owned this semester. So everyone have their own style, I wish you guys good luck, coz I also cannot do all by myself…

I know that some of you guys know what I did last holiday, and what I’ve learned, who I’ve going to lunch with. Any way, I want to share something that might be useful to all those who do lab 200, preferably, those who ‘kena’ Doreamon experiment.

Here’s a link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_squares

This is something that is even better than adjusting your ruler on the centroid to draw a straight line. This method may be lengthy, but it is an important tool for a physicist, or in DOTA language, your near ULTI weapon.

I learn this in the holidays, unfortunately, I use the computer, Microsoft excel, to compute the data for me so I haven’t tried evaluating using my hand. Sorry for that.

The maximum value of R2 (r-square) is 1, that means when it nears one, your data has a high accuracy. Note that this is only to let you know how your data fit well in a straight line, but does not tell you whether the data is correct or not. Suppose you need to do step A to obtain a set of data X, which is the correct way, you end up using step B and obtain set data Y, which is incorrect but also gives you a high R2 (r-square), in that case you may not know that your data is wrong, even how accurate it is, so becareful!

I think I’m not gonna write more here, I hope that everything goes well in this semester. Till then, I may blog about my holiday experience with you guys another time. C ya!

Btw thx Kampung Guy for the post. Hope your course XXX 939/4 will come through some day.
