The newly revised step-by-step guide to using the scientific
calculating power of Excel to perform a variety of chemical
calculations Chemists across all subdisciplines use Excel to record
data in tabular form, but few have learned to take full advantage
of the program. Featuring clear step-by-step instructions, Excel(r)
for Chemists illustrates how to use the scientific calculating
power of Excel to perform a variety of chemical calculations.
Including a CD-ROM for Windows, this new edition provides chemists
and students with a detailed guide to using the current versions of
Excel (Excel 2007 and 2010) as well as Excel 2003.
Additional features in this third edition include:
- How to perform a variety of chemical calculations by creating
advanced spreadsheet formulas or by using Excel's built-in
tools
- How to automate repetitive tasks by programming Excel's
Visual Basic for Applications
- New chapters in this edition show how to import data from other
language versions of Excel, and how to create automatic
procedures
- The accompanying CD contains a number of Excel macros to
facilitate chemical calculations, including molecular weight,
nonlinear regression statistics, and data interpolation
- Several appendices provide extensive lists of useful shortcut
keys and function descriptions
Whether as a text for students or as a reference for chemical
professionals in industry, academia, or government, Excel(r) for
Chemists, Third Edition provides a valuable resource for using
