Abstract
Two and three dimension contour maps were constructed to exhibit the compound
statistical tabulate, depending on surfer program application. The percentage of success in the department
of geology at university of Baghdad for the period 1999-2008 is considered as an application of this
approach. Surfer program maps show clearly the regional (long wavelength variation within many years
and subjects) and local (short wavelength variation with certain year or subject) changes in the
percentage of success in the department of geology. It is observed from the regional maps that the
percentage of success decreased with the time progress, especially in the first attempt examination. At the
same time many local variation were detected. It is believed that the administration decisions may be
caused some local changes in certain years, while the other local observation may be related to teaching
staff changes for certain scientific subjects
