The purpose of this guide is to assist oceanographers in teaching mathematical techniques used to solve oceanographic problems and other scientific problems. Quantitative problems are designed to give students an experience with real scientific data. Students will learn how scientists use the data they collect to calculate basic ocean information.

They will also learn how to interpret real scientific data with real errors in sampling and measurement. In many cases, quantitative problems require students to derive the equations and methods they should use to solve problems. This guide gives instructors the tools they need to help students draw out these equations and methods.

Also, in many cases, problems require students to do the same calculations with many different data points. This allows teachers to teach students how to use spreadsheets and other computing tools to handle large amounts of data..

I want that book.
