Aims

The course aims to provide fundamental knowledge for understanding, representing, and analyzing data, with a particular focus on the sports domain and the use of Microsoft Excel. Students will develop a clear distinction between data and information, understanding the process of transforming raw data into structured information. The course will cover key data representation methods, exploring storage techniques, encoding, compression, and concepts such as entropy and redundancy. Finally, students will gain practical skills in using Excel for data management, processing, and visualization through tools such as formulas, functions, charts, and PivotTables.
