Excel Scientific and Engineering Cookbook (Cookbooks (O'Reilly)) Review by C. Bailey

PROBLEM SOLUTION DISCUSSION

1.1 This Book

Problem
The entire book is written in this silly format.

Solution
If this sort of thing bothers you, buy something else

Discussion
This cloying and tiresome gimmick gets repeated throughout the entire book. Every time I pick it up, I feel like I'm listening to Donald Rumsfeld. There seems to be lots of good information about using Excel in scientific and engineering contexts, but the writing style is just too much for some of us. Whatever happened to straightforward narrative?
