The program
reads the temperature from a know good source DS1721 IC


The 1721 has an accuracy of only +/- 1 deg C, which may not be precise enough for his purposes.

With decent thermistors, like ones from Honeywell's Unicurve series, the device specification is sufficiently tight, that you can derive the characteristics directly from the Steinhart-Hart equations -
