This text has been designed to provide an overview to JMP-IN and contains step instructions for getting started. The examples are demonstrations of JMP and each uncovers something about the data. Almost all the examples and exercises use real-life data. The data sets have been chosen so the user can understand the issues without much technical knowledge. Graphs, analyses, and some data sets are used in several examples so readers can see that it takes several techniques to answer information in a data set.
