Are you tired of trying to learn Excel from an accountant? This book will cover the topics truly important to science and engineering professionals. Learn about sampling distributions and regressions and graphing.

Excel for scientists and engineers quickly guides the reader through topics such as sampling, estimating, distributions, testing, graphing, and data analysis. Being a scientist, Dr. Verschuuren hits upon the important topics that all accounting-centric books ignore.

Clearly, no one at Microsoft is a scientist. Why does it take a Ph.D. to put the columns together to make a histogram? Gerry Verschuuren has figured out the steps. Follow the charting chapter to create great-looking histograms and comparative histograms.

Add trendlines, error bars, normal distributions to your graphs

"I can estimate with confidence that you will enjoy this book!"

Learn how to estimate with confidence and more:
