Résumé

This book is intended for both undergraduate and graduate students in all branches of Earth science needing an introduction to any aspect of data treatment in connection with thesis preparation or writing up a project. It will also aid professional earth scientists to make the most of the interpretation of numerical data using spreadsheets and non-specialized commercial software. This is not merely a traditional statistics primer, it covers sampling, time series, orientation data in two and three dimensions and is very well illustrated with meaningful examples.
