Dear All

Please help me if you can in solving my problem with data
approximation.
It is probably simple but I have had Mathematica just for one week.  
I have got a set of experimental results {x,y,z} and I am trying 
to approximate (the least square method) them with a function of 
the form: a +a1x+a2x2+a3x3+a4x4+b1y+b2y2+b3y3+b4y4+cxy+c1x2y2

Is there is any better function than FIT.  I used the fit function 
to solve an example, but my results are slightly different from 
those I found in a book-I have obtained higher coefficients a, b, c.

I will be very much grateful if someone can help me.

Regards,
Martin
