About The Author
Ron Larsen is a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Montana State University and received his Ph.D. from the Pennsylvania State University. He was initially attracted to engineering by the challenges the profession offers. Some of the greatest challenges he has faced while teaching have involved nontraditional teaching situations, including evening courses for practicing engineers and teaching through an interpreter at the Mongolian National University. These experiences provided opportunities to try new ways of communicating technical material, and the new techniques have been incorporated in his lectures and texts. Introduction to Mathcad and Engineering with Excel developed from sets of course notes prepared to help his students more effectively utilize a new software tool. They continue to be updated to meet the needs of engineers in an ever-changing workplace.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This book far exceeded my expectations. I have used Mathcad for several years, but only its most basic features. I always wanted to learn more but never found the time to struggle through the HELP section trying to teach myself about its higher level capabilities. I wanted a book that would provide me a simple sequence of learning lessons from the beginning through higher level capabilities. However, I feared getting something either way too complicated (I am an engineer--not a mathematician), or something too trivial to teach me what I wanted to know. Also, many people who are good at doing something teach it poorly. Mr. Larsen not only KNOWS how to use Mathcad--he is a WONDERFUL teacher of its use! I could not practice engineering without the help of Matchcad, but I could not use more than a fraction of Mathcad's capabilities without Mr. Larsen's lessons. It is a bargain at $32. If you are an engineer who uses math, invest in Mathcad software. If you have Mathcad 11 software I recomend that you own this book to get your money's worth from this expensive software!
