Learn to fully harness the power of Microsoft Excel® to perform scientific and
engineering calculations
With this text as your guide, you can significantly enhance Microsoft Excel's®
capabilities to execute the calculations needed to solve a variety of chemical,
biochemical, physical, engineering, biological, and medicinal problems. The text
begins with two chapters that introduce you to Excel's Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA) programming language, which allows you to expand Excel's®
capabilities, although you can still use the text without learning VBA.
Following the author's step-by-step instructions, here are just a few of the
calculations you learn to perform:
* Use worksheet functions to work with matrices
* Find roots of equations and solve systems of simultaneous equations
* Solve ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations
* Perform linear and non-linear regression
* Use random numbers and the Monte Carlo method
This text is loaded with examples ranging from very basic to highly
sophisticated solutions. More than 100 end-of-chapter problems help you test and
put your knowledge to practice solving real-world problems. Answers and
explanatory notes for most of the problems are provided in an appendix.
