# Overview

Google Sheets is excellent for its low scare-factor and its free availability. Microsoft Excel can do a bit more and Python or R can do a lot more. Use Google Sheets if you are someone who needs to manipulate data or make statistical calculations, but not so often that you should suffer the investment required to use languages like Python or R or to learn/pay for other applications. Google Sheets will get you from point A to point B and with only an internet browser. In the context of this class, the only advantage of Excel might be the availability of the Analysis ToolPak plugin (useful for regression analysis).

You might get a job from your Python abilities alone, but [that won't happen with Excel/Sheets](https://youtu.be/bwlAik0HyyE?si=MjQg_DLoayw4gXCA&t=32).

## More about 1101

This is an introductory course in statistics. Students will learn how to interpret and produce statistical analyses, with applications taken from many fields. Major topics include the design of experiments, descriptive statistics, correlation, probability, hypothesis testing, and regression.

The only pre-requisite for this course is that you should be good at high school algebra. I recommend taking the calculus-based intro instead if you want to pursue stats or a related field.
