Using Microsoft Excel For Everyday Problems (Practical Exercises Book 5)
This book is for people who do not frequently use Excel. People who have used Excel and have a rudimentary knowledge of its capabilities but can only make limited use of its potential. Excel was designed and is constantly enhanced for use in business, engineering and science. Most of the literature published for Excel is developed for these users. But there is another class of users: non-commercial and non-professional users, some of them retirees like myself. They need a program for personal use in solving everyday problems in calculation and analysis. These users are completely intimidated by the large books required for instruction of professional users. They need a way to use Excel without investing hours of study. This book is for them. Excel is so easy to use that the basics of using the program can readily be acquired. The best way to do this is by actually using the program. This book allows you to use demonstrations of problem solving in Excel as familiarization exercises. The book title "Using Excel to Solve Everyday Problems," is inexact. There are certainly analyses and problems here that many would not call an "everyday problem." But the intent is to demonstrate approaches to solving problems, not the problems themselves. However, some very practical examples are included. There is a password generator, two computer simulation examples, a monthly payment example and some specific demonstrations of Excel capabilities. The reader will need to apply the generalized discussion of Excel in this book to his particular version of Excel. The mathematics in this book should be within the capabilities of anyone with a good grades in high school mathematics.
