E. Joseph Billo, a former associate professor of chemistry at Boston College, is the author of Excel for Chemists: A Comprehensive Guide, Second Edition (Wiley). He has developed two short courses, Advanced Excel for Scientists and Engineers and Excel Visual Basic Macros for Scientists and Engineers, which he has presented to thousands of scientists throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe for organizations such as The American Chemical Society, the National Cancer Institute, Procter & Gamble, Shell, and Texaco.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who finds themselves using Excel to do numerical computations beyond the basic spreadsheet operations. The CD provides a wealth of custom functions that extend the usefulness of Excel plus virtually all of the spreadsheets, charts, and VBA code needed to perform the example problems given in the text. This paperback edition and CD are a real bargain. (Technometrics, May 2008) This is a wonderful book for power users of Excel or those wanting to learn VBA and could also be useful as a course book in numerical methods... (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, July/August 2008) I am wiser now, and you should be, too! This book is strongly recommended for all engineers, scientists, undergraduate and graduate students that have ever used EXCEL. (Materials and Manufacturing Processes, Volume 22, Issue 7 2007) An excellent volume for practicing scientists or engineers encountering numerical methods. (CHOICE, October 2007)
