Course Description

This course will enhance the student’s knowledge of Microsoft Excel, which will be used to solve frequently encountered mathematics and statistics problems. Microsoft Excel will be introduced as data management software, and popular features of Excel such as formatting, editing, chart types and ‘autofill’ will be covered at the beginning of the course. The student will later be introduced to statistical tools in Excel which assist in solving problems in inferential statistics. An introduction to the Visual Basic Editor and programming in Visual Basic is then offered to the student. Teaching will take place entirely in weekly interactive lab sessions where the emphasis will be on active learning. Assessment will be based on coursework examinations and several lab assignments.
