In 1998, it was discovered that the universe was expanding at an accelerating rate. The culprit was named dark energy. We use Mathematica to find best fit models of the equation of state of the dark energy to the expanding universe via observed supernova data. We find our best fit model has a dark energy pressure equal to negative seven tenths its energy density.
