Hi guys,

Probably not a NativeAPI function question, but anyway; I am being 
tasked to reproduce some of the power that is in the Excel LINEST 
function in an application.

I realize that LINEST uses linear regression and least squares; but I am 
by no means a math major, the Numerical Recipes in C book has been 
mildly helpful; but I am still stuck without a solution.

I can't use OLE to automate Excel as the application may not always be 
ran on a PC with Excel.

Anyone know any great libraries I could use that allow me to import a 
data set of X and Y values which will return me the best polynomial fit 
line, or array of A values for the equation y = A1x^2 + A2x + A3?
