Preface to the second edition
I thank Cambridge University Press, and in particular Simon Capelin, for the opportunity to revisit Data Analysis with Excel. I have revised sections of the book to include topics of contemporary relevance to undergraduate students, particularly in the area of uncertainty in measurement. I hope the book will continue to assist in developing the quantitative skills of students destined to graduate in the physical sciences. There is little doubt that the demand for such skills will continue to grow in society in general and particularly within industry, research, education and commerce.
This edition builds on the first with a new chapter added and others undergoing major or minor modifications (for example, to remedy mistakes, update references or include more end of chapter exercises).
