Summary

This chapter examines three software programs that assist users to compute the necessary quantities, make summaries, construct graphical displays – including charts – from data, and create two- and three-dimensional pictures from expressions or numbers.

Microsoft Excel is a module of the Microsoft Office suite of software programs (www.microsoft.com/en-us/download). Excel is composed of several subroutines, Excel commands, through which users can perform calculations. JASP, now in the public domain (https://jasp-stats.org), was created and is supported by the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Input data for analysis by JASP need to be entered in an Excel spreadsheet, saved as a comma-delimited (.CSV) file, and fed to JASP software. Microsoft Math Solver, developed and maintained by the Microsoft Corporation, is free to download. It allows users to solve math and science problems. It was developed and maintained by the Microsoft Corporation.
