Every laboratory collects numerical data. This lecture teaches you how to process that data properly and with a formalism necessary for proper interpretation of the data. Such processes, if properly applied, remove bias, prejudice, and opinion and force a staying the course with the truth and reality.
(May 2012) Knowing how to critically analyze experimental data is absolutely crucial to your survival in the laboratory and in science, i.e., biomedical science. Whenever numbers or data are involved it is vital to understand and know how to process those numbers properly to understand what the data is saying to you to help you derive the proper conclusions.
This acrobat PDF file is my full written lecture and it parallels the entire Appendix of the Skoog textbook. You are absolutely required to understand everything is this particular lecture.
(May 2012) This podcast should be an introduction, or a summary, or perhaps even a review down the line. It is not as detailed as the textbook or the above acrobat file. It is really intended to extend the feel of the material and you are still responsible for learning the material from the textbook.
