For courses in Computer Methods.
An extensive text thoroughly covering the application of Excel to Engineering. This book is best for those who will spend a significant amount of time covering Excel during a semester or quarter, those who require that their students have a complete engineering reference to excel, or those who want to learn to apply excel to engineering problems on their own. This text is designed for all users from introductory to graduate students.
Ron Larsen is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Montana State University, and received his Ph.D. from the Pennsylvania State University. He was initially attracted to engineering by the challenges the profession offers, but also appreciates that engineering is a serving profession. Some of the greatest challenges he has faced while teaching have involved non-traditional teaching methods, including evening courses for practicing engineers and teaching through an interpreter at the Mongolian National University. These experiences have provided tremendous opportunities to learn new ways to communicate technical material. Dr. Larsen views modern software as one of the new tools that will radically alter the way engineers work, and his book Introduction to MathCAD was written to help young engineers prepare to meet the challenges of an ever-changing workplace.
