Look at ?poly. It's doing something your not expecting.

What you want is

lm(T ~ X + I(X^2), data = d)

Dear R experts,

Excuse me if my question will be stupid...
I'd like to fit data with x^2 polynomial:

d <- read.table(file = "Oleg.dat", head = TRUE)
d
  X         T
  3720.00   4.113
  3715.00   4.123
  3710.00   4.132
  ...

out <- lm(T ~ poly(X, 4), data = d)
out
Call:
lm(formula = T ~ poly(X, 2), data = d)
Coefficients:
(Intercept) poly(X, 2)1 poly(X, 2)2 9.803 -108.075 51.007


So, d$T best fitted with function
  9.803 -108.075 * X + 51.007 * X^2,
yes?

T1 <- 9.803 -108.075 * d$X + 51.007 * d$X^2
T1
  705453240
  703557595
  701664500
  699773956
  ...

So, T1 obviosly gets non-sensible values.. :( Why?
Thanks a lot!
