• Description:
  This is a collection of interactive Excel spreadsheets or Excelets for use in mathematics and general chemistry. Many of the spreadsheets come with discovery-based activities. A number of Excelets support the introduction of mathematical modeling concepts. The user changes a variable and the spreadsheet changes in numerical, graphical, and/or even symbolic form (equations). Through the use of numerical experimentation and "what if" scenarios, we have a powerful learning tool for students using readily available off-the-shelf software. All of this is done computationally with no use of programming, no macros or Visual Basics for Applications, VBA.
