CSC 152: The Week beginning February 28
~
- Homework:
Plot something using Excel. Find some data (stock
prices, batting averages, data from another class,
anything you can think of) and plot it in a meaningful
way using Excel. Do not copy anything straight out
of the Excel book. Your chart should have a title
and/or its axes labeled. If it has a legend, the
legend should be meaningful (i.e. it better not say
"Series 1, Series 2" which is the default in Excel).
Hand in a printout of your Excel spreadsheet.
Due: Mar. 6
- Reading:
Our Excel book does not discuss XY plotting and fitting.
For a review of what will be covered in lecture see
my instructions. For a
slightly different approach and/or another example, you
might want to look at
this web site.
- Monday:
XY Plots. Excel demonstration on XY plotting and
fitting.
- Wednesday:
Some plots from astronomy. You will find the necessary
data in this file.
- Friday:
XY plotting and fitting lab II.
You will find the necessary data in
this file.
