Data and Statistics Cookbook with Excel 2007


Book Description

"Over the past several years, there has been an increased interest in the use of spreadsheets for teaching and learning basic statistics. This movement began in business schools, where spreadsheets are used extensively, but has recently expanded to the sciences and more recently, the social sciences. This book about using a widely available spreadsheet program for basic statistics can be used as a course supplement or as a standalone text. Topics covered include those commonly taught in a first course (or two-course sequence) in basic descriptive and inferential statistics. Although the text makes repeated use of certain datasets, each chapter serves as a standalone module, so instructors can skip the topics they do not wish to cover."--Publisher's website.




Excel Scientific and Engineering Cookbook


Book Description

Given the improved analytical capabilities of Excel, scientists and engineers everywhere are using it--instead of FORTRAN--to solve problems. And why not? Excel is installed on millions of computers, features a rich set of built-in analyses tools, and includes an integrated Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language. No wonder it's today's computing tool of choice. Chances are you already use Excel to perform some fairly routine calculations. Now the Excel Scientific and Engineering Cookbook shows you how to leverage Excel to perform more complex calculations, too, calculations that once fell in the domain of specialized tools. It does so by putting a smorgasbord of data analysis techniques right at your fingertips. The book shows how to perform these useful tasks and others: Use Excel and VBA in general Import data from a variety of sources Analyze data Perform calculations Visualize the results for interpretation and presentation Use Excel to solve specific science and engineering problems Wherever possible, the Excel Scientific and Engineering Cookbook draws on real-world examples from a range of scientific disciplines such as biology, chemistry, and physics. This way, you'll be better prepared to solve the problems you face in your everyday scientific or engineering tasks. High on practicality and low on theory, this quick, look-up reference provides instant solutions, or "recipes," to problems both basic and advanced. And like other books in O'Reilly's popular Cookbook format, each recipe also includes a discussion on how and why it works.
