This book explains how to use the many mathematical functions available in Excel. I bought it to gain an understanding of the use of the Fast Fourier Transform for post-grad work.
There are chapters on differentiation, integration, engineering functions and differential equations. Complex mathematics and the Fast Fourier Function are covered in the final chapters. There is a CD containing workbooks for each chapter with many worked examples.
There won't be many people wanting this degree of specialised knowledge but for those that do the book will be very useful.

1.0 out of 5 stars Where's My CD?
Reviewed in the United States on 19 September 2019

I should have known with the $6 or $7 price of a used book something would be wrong.
Amazon's advertisement said that there was an accompanying CD.
When I received the book today, I discovered THERE WAS NO CD.
That would not be so bad except the last three chapters 10, 11, and 12 are ONLY on the CD.
Plus, while there are exercises at the end of each chapter,
the accompanying CD has extra exercises and presumably the correct answers.
But I would not know.
After being disappointed with the missing CD, I hoped the provided www links to updates to the book on Wiley.com and links to the files on the missing CD, I checked out the links and found out they were all ORPHAN LINKS.
The book is no longer listed on wiley.com.
To add a further twist of a stabbing knife of disappointment , I find that THE AUTHOR HAS PASSED AWAY AS OF 2015!

This is one of the rare circumstances that I am forced to ask Amazon for a total refund.

I liked this book. I appreciated his approach to FFTs and DSP. I found a few new ideas on how to analyze my data. The CD had working spreadsheets that I found quite handy.
