DESCRIPTION:
A Customer said Program a model from scratch. Originally conceived as a single book, these two volumes have been tailored to suit ecology/evolution or conservation biology/landscape ecology curricula. They help students develop expertise in building models using spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft® Excel. Why should students build their own spreadsheet models from scratch, when so many specific, prewritten models are widely available? Because when you program a model from scratch, you learn all aspects of modeling: what parameters are important, how the parameters relate to each other, and how changes in the model affect outcomes. I. A great book grant woods This sucker is full of exercises and information to help learn how to use spreadsheet processes. We used it in our spatial analysis course and I liked it so much I bought it for myself.
System requirements are Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet program.. This title can be used independently as the basis of a laboratory course, or can supplement a variety of texts. In the process, they become proficient with many of the functions available on most spreadsheet programs and learn to write and develop their own macros. Students then examine how various parameters affect model outcomes and, through a set of guided questions, are challenged to develop their model further. Each spreadsheet exercise provides a list of objectives, background material, and annotated step by step instructions (Windows and Macintosh) for creating a model on a given topic
