The aims of the training are to introduce the student to the knowledge of Excel, with particular emphasis on the statistical data analysis.

The topics covered will be: hints of statistics, the Excel worksheet, some simplest mathematical functions, creation of graphs, frequency and statistical distributions, probability distributions. Additionally, we will discuss also conditional formatting, data sharing between Word and Excel, and the use of advanced tools such as pivot tables and simple macros.

Knowledge and Understanding: The student will be required to have basic knowledge of statistics, the fundamental functions of Excel, the creation of charts and distributions, and some conditional formatting features.

Applied Knowledge and Understanding: The student will need to be able to use Excel software to analyze experimental results.

Autonomy of Judgment: The student will be expected to independently evaluate the plausibility of analysis results through analogical reasoning and sound scientific judgment.

Communication Skills: The student will need to acquire appropriate and accurate scientific language.

Learning Skills: The student will be able to deepen their understanding of specific concepts not covered during the course by consulting non-specialist scientific texts.
