> I have been trying to do several analyses with an [x,y,z] data set, where z is 
dependent on x and y.  First, I tried a 3D plot.  However, the only way I was 
able to get Mathematica to plot my data was to assume a grid form for x and 
y, and use ListPlot3D.  First question: can Mathematica make a 3D plot from 
stated x,y,z points?

> Secondly, I am trying to fit a function to the data.  I have determined a 
function to which to fit parameters.  However, Mathematica does not seem to 
want to accept y as a variable.  Here is a simple suggestion of what I was 
trying.  Note, my function is much more complicated.  Please also ignore if 
the given does not work as stated, as I'm making it up.
