Numerical Methods for Chemical Engineers Using Excel, VBA, and MATLAB

Preface

This book has been written using notes developed for the course Numerical Methods for Chemical Engineers at Tulane University. The author has written two previous textbooks: one on FORTRAN^® programming and one using the language Pascal. On a personal note, when I completed the Pascal book, I asked my wife to break my fingers if I ever decided to write another book! Well, that was a long time ago, and having been granted a sabbatical leave to write this book, my wife decided that she would look the other way.

While there are many textbooks whose title would indicate that they are suitable for the course Numerical Methods for Chemical Engineers, ...
