Spreadsheets

Being able to easily manipulate data is an important skill for any chemist. Large data sets are regularly produced in the lab or output from computational experiments and being able to maipulate, plot and estimate errors in data are important skills for chemists. There are many programs which may be used for analysing data, whether these are specialist scientific packages, or general spreadsheet programs which you may already be used to using.

Microsoft Excel is one such spreadsheet program and we have produced a number of guides for its use in a chemistry context. You will need to be able to carry out the operations described in each guides below.
