Datasets about all kinds of natural, social, and experimental phenomena are widely available, and new datasets are being generated every day. The first step of making sense of data is often organizing it into a spreadsheet. Once entered and organized, spreadsheets can be used to sort, filter, analyze, and visualize patterns and trends that might not be apparent from our own limited observations. Using contemporary datasets as examples, <\/span>participants will learn how to create and navigate spreadsheets in Excel, sort and filter data, write formulas to perform calculations, summarize and format data into tables for a report, and generate graphs from data. Registration: <\/span>https:\/\/forms.gle\/Hcus8fZYRXmnoheq5<\/span><\/a>. Questions: Neil Curri (<\/span>necurri@vassar.edu<\/span><\/a> \/ x7708). <\/span><\/p>\n
