Synopsis

Microsoft Excel has a range of functions that can be utilised for the analysis and presentation of experimental results. This text is a straightforward introduction to these tools, directed specifically towards their use in technical subjects. It begins with a basic introduction to spreadsheets in general, and Microsoft Excel in particular, before discussing formulas, charts, curve-fitting, equation-solving, macros, statistical functions, logic functions, differentiation, integration, and many other associated functions. Two chapters on modelling are also incorporated which bring together all the material necessary to show how Excel can be used to model an entire system. It rounds up with a chapter on report writing, providing valuable instruction on the best way to present results in a formal report. Aimed at scientists and engineers, this is a book that will be referred to again and again providing an invaluable, user-friendly information on the more technical functions of Microsoft Excel.
