A disadvantage to online clothes shopping is the inability to try on clothing to test the fit. A class project is discussed where students consult with the CEO of an online mensware clothing company to explore ways in which an online clothing customer can be assured of a superior fit by developing statistical models based on a shopper's height and…

In the article 'How Long Is My Toilet Roll--A Simple Exercise in Mathematical Modelling' several models of increasing complexity are introduced and solved to calculate indirectly the length of paper on a toilet-roll. All these results are presented without errors. The authors of this comment believe the error analysis of measurements made in a…

This article takes a closer look at the problem of approximating the exponential and logarithmic functions using polynomials. Either as an alternative to or a precursor to Taylor polynomial approximations at the precalculus level, interpolating polynomials are considered. A measure of error is given and the behaviour of the error function is…
