Matlab users

See Matlab tutorial for a very quick introduction to Matlab in fitting.

If you need a more advance/nonlinear fitting hints. Have a look at fitting introduction materials of Phys-256 class which I taught. You will probably find super useful the fitting chapter from my book “Programming with MATLAB for Scientists: A Beginner’s Introduction” book which is available at amazon and at the CRC Press.

Python users

If you are novice Python user, a good start is the web colaboratory interface
