Inspiration

My current statistics professor told us that we could use any calculation medium. So to save time from typing in Excel, SPSS, or having to work on a calculator with several parenthesis, I decided to make my own calculation media.

What it does

Solves a handful of statistical equations covered throughout a statistics course. No need to memorize equations or stress when all the parenthesis when using a calculator; all you need to do is enter the required data, which should come straight from your assignment(s).

How I built it

Originally started as a C#/XAML project in Visual Studio, but since then converted to a JavaScript/HTML5/CSS3 project.

Challenges I ran into

Rewriting a majority of my app because it was pointed out to me that a ton of my code was pointless.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Having a free, limited (Lite), version called Alpha Stats already in the Windows 10 Store as a UWP application. Getting further in the development of a new UX, completing this app, and getting ready to release it to the Windows Store later in the day.

What I learned

1) Parenthesis are the worst. 2) The development process takes much more time even when it's a simple app like Alpha/Beta Stats. 3) Learned how to convert a multi-paged app into a one-pager, for the most part.

What's next for Beta Stats

More features, learning aids, visual examples, and any other elements that will help students in a statistics environment.
