The Excel Spreadsheet For Engineers And Scientists

A complete tutorial on how to use all version of the excel spreadsheets including 3.0 for specific engineering and scientific functions.

Excel is an everyday computational tool for most engineers and scientists. Foundations of Excel Spreadsheets for Engineers and Scientists is specifically written to respond to gaps in understanding of this important spreadsheet tool among undergraduates and provide them with a concise, informative and cost effective resource that will assist them with their study and careers. Foundations of Excel Spreadsheets: introduces the core aspects of Microsoft Excel; addresses the range of skills required by undergraduate students using this technology across various disciplines including science, engineering and technology; covers additional key topics such as documentation and verification, which are ignored by other textbooks; refers to Excel 2010 but has application to earlier Excel versions as well. Supplements: Additional online guides to using keyboard shortcuts and translating commands between different Excel versions are available to users of the text at www.pearsoned.co.nz/jordan.

Liengme’s Guide to Excel 2016 for Scientists and Engineers is a completely updated guide for students, scientists, and engineers who want to use Microsoft Excel 2016 to its full potential, whether you’re using a PC or a Mac. Electronic spreadsheet analysis has become part of the everyday work of researchers in all areas of engineering and science. Microsoft Excel, as the industry standard spreadsheet, has a range of scientific functions that can be utilized for the modeling, analysis, and presentation of quantitative data. This text provides a straightforward guide to using these functions of Microsoft Excel, guiding the reader from basic principles through to more complicated areas such as formulae, charts, curve-fitting, equation solving, integration, macros, statistical functions, and presenting quantitative data. Content written specifically for the requirements of science and engineering students and professionals working with Microsoft Excel, brought fully up to date with Microsoft Office release of Excel 2016. Features of Excel 2016 are illustrated through a wide variety of examples based on technical contexts, demonstrating the use of the program for analysis and presentation of experimental results. Where appropriate, demonstrates the differences between the PC and Mac versions of Excel. Includes many new end-of-chapter problems at varying levels of difficulty.

Using an informal, conversational style, this "how to" book guides beginning students from spreadsheet basics through the robust engineering and scientific applications of EXCEL, including using EXCEL in the lab. Students learn how to compose structured, efficient, documented workbooks with data entry cells, summary results and statistics cells, and commented cells. Throughout the book, they′ll find innovative techniques for composing spreadsheets, solving problems, analyzing data, and presenting results that will help them in their courses and professional careers. End–of–Chapter problems not only show how to use EXCEL, they also relate directly to topics in engineering and the sciences. Plus, a CD, which is packaged with the text, contains sample workbooks, links to online EXCEL resources, and text updates via the book′s web site.

This work gives scientific and engineering students an introduction to the use of excel for the analysis and presentation of experimental results. It also discusses some of the more advanced functions, such as modelling.

A sourcebook of numerical methods implemented on the Excel spreadsheet. Each example is explained in detail, showing not only the numerical method but the step-by-step implementation of the method on a spreadsheet. All levels of numerical analysis are described, from simple tabulations of functions, statistics and curve fitting to solutions of differential equations in one and two dimensions. These methods are applicable to both the Macintosh and Windows versions of Excel.

In this basic introduction, the author aims to help engineers and scientists to understand and use Excel in their fields. The book is interactive and designed to be used in conjunction with a computer, to provide a hands-on learning experience.

"Spreadsheets in Science and Engineering" shows scientists and engineers at all levels how to analyze, validate and calculate data and how the analytical and graphic capabilities of spreadsheet programs (ExcelR) can solve these tasks in their daily work. The examples on the CD-ROM accompanying the book include material of undergraduate to current research level in disciplines ranging from chemistry and chemical engineering to molecular biology and geology.
