| Description of Research | |||
| In research, Dr. Edwards has been doing numerical simulations and creating statistical data processing algorithms that were simply impractical to apply in the recent past. Primarily, these have been in the area of light scattering for particle size measurement and for laser anemometry. He has also been struggling to create a computer-based pedagogical approach to teaching statistics to engineers and scientists. With relatively available software such as a spread sheet, students can now do experiments of a wide variety. Existing texts in statistics do not yet admit this possibility. Using the computer this way means more than just doing the same old calculations faster. Exercises can be devised that let the student explore statistics in a whole new fashion. | |||
