Title: Why pay this much when you can get Mathematica 7?
Review: I don't understand why anybody would do serious scientific calculations using Excel of all software. Excel is good for simple maths, presenting numbers in tables and doing graphics, but maths?For the price of Excel + this book just buy Mathematica 7.0 from Wolfram Research (295US$): It will do wonders for your scientific work, your peace of mind and probably increase substantially the time you cand dedicate to other purposes.Please, do not mistake me: I have no commercial or other interest in Wolfram, I am a user doing some of my scientific research with Mathematica 6.0, the previous version, which is already very good at whatever maths, programming, data analysis etc you care to throw at it. Plus it is very intuitive.Don't buy this book!
