With this text as your guide, you can significantly enhance Microsoft Excel's capabilities to execute the calculations n eeded to solve a variety of chemical, biochemical, physical, engineering, biological, and medicinal problems. The text b egins with two chapters that introduce you to Excel's Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language, which al lows you to expand Excel's capabilities, although you can st ill use the text without learning VBA. Following the author' s step-by-step instructions, here are just a few of the calc ulations you learn to perform: * Use worksheet functions to work with matrices * Find roots of equations and solve systems of simultane ous equations * Solve ordinary differential equations and partial diff erential 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-chapte r problems help you test and put your knowledge to practice solving real-world problems. Answers and explanatory notes f or most of the problems are provided in an appendix.
The CD-ROM that accompanies this text provides several usefu l features: * All the spreadsheets, charts, and VBA code needed to p erform the examples from the text * Solutions to most of the end-of-chapter problems * An add-in workbook with more than twenty custom functi ons This text does not require any background inprogramming, so it is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate courses.
Moreover, practitioners in science and engineering will find that this guide saves hours of time by enabling them to per form most of their calculations with one familiar spreadshee t package |
