Product Description
Data analysis is of central importance in the education of scientists. This book offers a compact and readable introduction to techniques relevant to physical science students. The material is thoroughly integrated with the popular and powerful spreadsheet package Excel by Microsoft. Excel features of most relevance to the analysis of experimental data in the physical sciences are dealt with in some detail. Fully worked problems reinforce basic principles. Underlying assumptions and range of applicability of techniques are discussed, though detailed derivations of basic equations are mostly avoided or confined to the appendices. Exercises and answers are included at the end of chapters. Further relevant topics are included in online support for the book. Data Analysis with Excel is suitable for undergraduate students in the physical sciences. It will also appeal to graduate students and researchers needing an introduction to statistical techniques and the use of spreadsheets in data analysis.

Review
‘This book is extremely well structured. It both describes the main functionality of Excel with special emphasis on scientific data analysis, as well as the statistical background to the methods … definitely one of the best on the market in this important area … the author should be congratulated on doing a wonderful job.’ Chemistry & Industry
Overall, I found the book excellent.’ S. Middleton, The Physicist
‘Any scientist familiar with Microsoft windows who has Excel® installed will find in this book a simple and straightforward introduction to the use of spreadsheet calculations and data display … The coverage of this book will be more than adequate for undergraduate courses and will be sufficient for many postgraduate and research readers … This book gives a good introduction to Excel® for data analysis for the first time user and covers the data analysis methods that most physical scientists will need. The book is a useful reference for those who already use Excel® and for those who may want to extend the data analysis methods that they use.’ Contemporary Physics
