Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: Mapping Fireprints

Curated by ACT

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this diverse lesson has students perform linear regression analysis (to compare two fire variables), check three-dimensional points using a planar equation, and evaluate points to determine planar equation intersections. All of this is framed in the context of finding particular "fingerprints" for forest fires, which are essentially an arsonist's signature. [Requires Adobe Reader.]
