Título : Excel 2007 for Biological and Life Sciences Statistics : A Guide to Solving Practical Problems Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Thomas J. Quirk ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Quirk, Meghan ; Howard Horton Editorial: New York, NY : Springer New York Fecha de publicación: 2013 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: XVII, 232 p. 162 illus., 146 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-4614-6003-9 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Statistics for Life Sciences, Medicine, Health Sciences and Computing/Statistics Programs Statistics, general Clasificación: 51 Matemáticas Resumen: This is the first book to show the capabilities of Microsoft Excel to teach biological and life sciences statistics effectively. It is a step-by-step exercise-driven guide for students and practitioners who need to master Excel to solve practical science problems. If understanding statistics isn’t your strongest suit, you are not especially mathematically-inclined, or if you are wary of computers, this is the right book for you. Excel, a widely available computer program for students and managers, is also an effective teaching and learning tool for quantitative analyses in science courses. Its powerful computational ability and graphical functions make learning statistics much easier than in years past. However, Excel 2007 for Biological and Life Sciences Statistics: A Guide to Solving Practical Problems is the first book to capitalize on these improvements by teaching students and managers how to apply Excel to statistical techniques necessary in their courses and work. Each chapter explains statistical formulas and directs the reader to use Excel commands to solve specific, easy-to-understand science problems. Practice problems are provided at the end of each chapter with their solutions in an appendix. Separately, there is a full Practice Test (with answers in an Appendix) that allows readers to test what they have learned. n Includes 162 illustrations in color n Suitable for undergraduates or graduate students Nota de contenido: Sample Size, Mean, Standard Deviation, and Standard Error of the Mean -- Random Number Generator -- Confidence Interval About the Mean Using the TINV Function and Hypothesis Testing -- One-Group t-Test for the Mean -- Two-Group t-Test of the Difference of the Means for Independent Groups -- Correlation and Simple Linear Regression -- Multiple Correlation and Multiple Regression -- One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) -- Appendix A: Answers to End-of-Chapter Practice Problems -- Appendix B: Practice Test -- Appendix C: Answers to Practice Test -- Appendix D: Statistical Formulas -- Appendix E: t-table -- Index En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-6003-9 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=32283 Excel 2007 for Biological and Life Sciences Statistics : A Guide to Solving Practical Problems [documento electrónico] / Thomas J.

Título : Historical Encyclopedia of Natural and Mathematical Sciences Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Ari Ben-Menahem ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg Fecha de publicación: 2009 Número de páginas: eReference Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-540-68832-7 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Mathematics Earth sciences Life Physics Environment Mathematics, general Sciences, Physics, Environment, Clasificación: 51 Matemáticas Resumen: This milestone extensive work combines the essentials of history – biography, chronology, political and economic background – with the observations, theories, principles, laws and equations that constitute the specifics of science. The 5800-page Encyclopedia arises from the conviction that the optimal perspective on science is through the lens of history, setting aside traditional divisions of discipline and specialty, and rising above geopolitical boundaries. Reaching from 4,200 BCE to the 21st century CE, the Encyclopedia relates (as the author himself puts it) "not only who did it and when it was done but also precisely what was done." The author, Ari Ben-Menahem, surveys 100 generations of great thinkers, offering 2070 detailed biographies of scientists, engineers, explorers and inventors, who left their mark on the history of science and technology. The span of coverage is all-encompassing: mathematics, philosophy, logic, physical and environmental sciences (including physics, chemistry, astronomy, earth and space sciences and cosmology), life sciences (biology, medicine, physiology, botany, zoology and biochemistry), associated engineering disciplines, and the social sciences (among them economics, psychology, sociology, anthropology, linguistics and more). The six-volume Encyclopedia also includes 380 articles summarizing the time-line of ideas in the leading fields of science, technology, mathematics and philosophy, plus useful tables, figures and photos, and 20 ‘Science Progress Reports’ detailing scientific setbacks. Interspersed throughout are quotations, gathered from the wit and wisdom of sages, savants and scholars throughout the ages from antiquity to modern times En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-68832-7 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=34013 Historical Encyclopedia of Natural and Mathematical Sciences [documento electrónico] / Ari Ben-Menahem ; SpringerLink (Online service) . - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009 . - eReference : online resource.
