Data Desk is a graphical and interactive data analysis, and statistics program which runs on the Macintosh and is based on the philosophy of Exploratory Data Analysis. It is a supplement for anyone taking a statistics course who has access to a Macintosh computer. Originally developed for teaching undergraduates at Cornell University, Data Desk Student Version introduces the world of modern data analysis. The linked graphics, help the user to visualize concepts and see the relationships between the concepts and data. "Learning Data Analysis with Data Disk" covers the statistics and graphics methods needed by students in undergraduate statistics courses. Many examples are worked out in detail, and more than 200 exercises are built around data sets that are included on the disk. This revised and updated edition of the student version is fully compatible with Data Desk 4. Data Desk excels in practical data analysis, and among the many new features and improvements are: more hyperviews, control over font and size of text, supports colour, enhanced interface to make it easier for students to use.
A special feature of the student version is its compatibility with the professional version of Data Desk.
