Fitting models to experimental data is a fundamental task in scientific computing, enabling you to extract meaningful trends from noisy measurements. In previous chapters, you explored optimization and root-finding methods, and learned about curve fitting and least squares approaches. Now, you will put these concepts into practice by using `scipy.optimize.curve_fit` to fit a polynomial model to a set of noisy data points. This hands-on challenge will help you solidify your understanding of data fitting and model parameter extraction.
