South-Western College Pub, 2003

Challenging Textbook, full of practical Excel techniques
Best for an MBA textbook or very dedicated self-study for quantitatively oriented business analysts. You learn a lot of Excel skills and how to produce practical tables, charts and other exhibits in Excel. Using traditional statistical software such as SAS, SPSS, Statistica, etc. makes the teaching and learning simpler. Using specialized software is the way to go if you are going to learn ...

Microsoft Press, 2007

Great Overview of the Power of Excel 2007
I'll start by saying I'm biased: I believe Excel 2007 is awesome. So, this book is a great reference for how to get more out of a great tool. I've been to Wayne's seminars, adn his book is a great substitute for his classroom knowledge and experience. THe examples are highly practical, and his data samples on the included CD make learning how to use the functions a lot easier. Love the basketball ...

Every chapter introduces a new excel technique. Explanations are straight forward and easy to ...

Very helpful book
This isn't your regular review here, because I'm guessing we all "have" to buy this book when we take the course. This book is very helpful for students of all levels. I took it for an "operations research" class after more than 7 years of not studying any math. Still, the first few chapters offer a recap of algebra needed for the course. In the subsequent chapters, everything progresses ...

Learn to use Excel
Using Excel is a heavy focus of this textbook. It would be excellent for MBA students who are quantitatively oriented, but maybe a bit advanced for undergraduates. It is very practical in learning the basics and learning how to produce practical tables and charts in Excel. The examples are very good at teaching the steps involved. This probably isn't a good book for self study, unless you ...

Expensive, but thorough
This is the brand new revised 3rd edition. I didn't want to have to buy the new book, so I was a little upset to pay for full price- but it seems to be pretty thorough.

With his various books and software, Dr Winston really ...

THE BEST on Operations Research (Deserves 6 stars)
I think this book is the best up to date reference on Operations Research. The book is very well written, very didactic and addresses mainly the practical use of OR. That is, the book isnt so good for algorithm details but it is superb on modeling, interpretation and examples.

something stinks
P>Totally useless information is pounded into your skull with solutions to less than a third of the problems. Good luck with this one. If it wasn't required to buy, I never would.
