- First, show how to use LINEST -- we'll derive this maybe next week
- y = q(x) ... with uncertainty in x, how to propagate?
Approximation when it's a function of one variable (show plot from Taylor)
As a function of more than one variable
Millikan
- Derive approx. w/ Taylor's

Examples from wikipedia
- What to do when it's complicated? Sensitivity
