Microsoft Excel has a range of functions that can be utilised for the analysis and presentation of experimental results. This text provides a straightforward introduction to these tools directed specifically toward 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 bringing all the material together 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.
