Excel and Statistics in the Laboratory

Catalog description

In this course students learn data entry options for Excel, as well as analyze data using the software and its specific features. Students will learn how to control and share the data they have created. Students research different types of labs that utilize this software, and how data from these programs is and can be incorporated into a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). Excel plug-ins that support statistical calculations, and the mathematical reasoning for those calculations will be discussed, as well as practical applications of that data in the laboratory.
