Hi!

Some weeks ago I discovered R. Now, I have a somewhat complicated task and am not sure whether R is the right tool to solve it.

I got data of several series or measurements where I have to find the two inflection points. I did a linear regression (with ^2 and ^3 arguments), the problem there was that I had to look only at a very narrow band of measurement in order to get the approximation right at the essential point. (Maybe there is a better way than lm?)

Now that I have an appromiated function, I need its inflection point, but I could not find any R function for that. Is there any? Or can anyone recommend a good (possibly free) mathematical programme?

Maybe this could be helpful: All the measurements look like this and I marked the points of interest.

Thank you very much for your help
