Abstract
We outline the history of some of the concepts and techniques of linea r algebra which are intimately connected with the development of the m ethod of least squares and related fitting procedures. Our study conce ntrates on contributions made during the early years of the nineteenth century, but it is not entirely restricted to this period.
