Excelent Excel

After using the Excel 97 Version of this book, I was impressed by the clear and concise instructions and well-thought-out approach used by the author. I used the problems and answers provided in the text to help learn features of Excel that are not readily apparent such as graphs, fitting equations to data, curve fitting, integration, and optimization. After reading through the 97 version, I came away believing that Excel was the most useful computer program I had ever used.The Excel 2000 Version uses the same easy to use approach, but new chapters have been added on unit conversions, logical decisions, and data import/export. These explain useful operating features not necessarily new to Excel. Figures in the new text have been updated for the 2000 version and answers are once again provided for problems and self-learning.Computer books can easily become nebulous and boring. Since the author focuses on problem solving rather than soley using the program, reading is kept informative, not boring. Chapters can also be skipped if you are uninterested in content, without totally throwing you out-of-wack.
