Hi Adrienne,

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?
ListPlot3D will do the job

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.

do not dispair, it is simply a syntax error. FindFit wants the variable
names as a list like:
FindFit[...,{x,y}]
