“Excel for Chemists should be part of any academic library offering courses and programs in Chemistry.”–Choice

“I highly recommend the book; treat yourself to it; assign it to a class; give it as a gift.”–The Nucleus

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® for Chemists illustrates how to use the scientific calculating power of Excel to perform a variety of chemical calculations.

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 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
