Chapter1 Introduction
Inthischapter,youwilllearnpracticalmethodsforanalyzingphysicaldata spatiotemporallydefinedbydiscretepoints.Physicaldatarefertodata usedtodescribephysicalorother phenomena.Thephysicalphenomena refertovariousphenomenathatexistinnature.Theyinclude,forexample, weather,temperature,earthquakes,andfloods.Thephysicaldataareoften definedasspatiotemporaldiscretedata.Thespatiotemporaldiscretedata refertodatathatarenotspatiotemporallycontinuous.Whenwehandle spatiotemporaldiscretedata,weusuallydividethespatiotemporalaxisinto discretesegmentssothatwecanhandledataineachsegment.
Spatiotemporaldiscretedatacanbeusedinavarietyoffields.For example,inthesocialandnaturalsciences,spatiotemporaldiscretedata aresometimesusedtoanalyzevariousphenomenaandtheircontinuous changes.Inbiologyandgeology,spatiotemporaldiscretedataaresometimesusedtoanalyzephenomenathatoccurintime.
Physicaldatacanbemeasuredinavarietyofwaysasfollows:
• Usingmeasuringinstruments :Physicaldatacanbemeasureddirectly usingmeasuringinstruments.Forexample,athermometerorahygrometercanbeusedtomeasuretemperatureandaseismometercanbeused tomeasurethevibrationsofanearthquake.
• Observation :Physicaldatacanbeobtainedbyobservingphenomena. Forexample,aweatherforecastsiteorappcanbeusedtoobservethe weather.Toacquireweatherdata,youcanobservetemperature,humidity,windspeed,etc.,atmeteorologicalobservatories.
• Usingsimulations :Physicaldatacanbeobtainedbyrunningsimulationsonacomputer.Forexample,youcanunderstandfluidandheat conductionphenomenabysimulatingfluidbehaviorandheatconduction phenomena.

Autofill
TheAutofillfunctioninExcelhelpsyouenterdataefficiently.Itautomaticallysuggestsdatatobeenterednextbasedonthedatathathavealready beenentered(Figure1.5).
Forexample,supposethatcolumnscontainmonthanddaydata.The data“January”,“February”,and“March”areenteredinthe“Month” column,andthedata“1st”,“2nd”,and“3rd”areenteredinthe“Day” column.Ifyouenter“4”intheAprilcellofthe“Month”column,“4”will alsobeautomaticallyenteredinthe4thcellofthe“Day”column.
TheAutofillfunctionallowsyoutoenterdatamoreefficiently,soyou canperformExcelworkmoreefficiently.TheAutofillfunctionalsoreduces inputerrors,therebyincreasingdatareliability.
Youcaneasilyentercontinuousdatasuchas“January,February, March ”bydraggingthem:
