This course is available to be taught on-site at your facility. Call PEI today to schedule this course.

Course Description
This course is designed for those who are working with systems of equations, which include a set of ordinary differential equations. It provides a structured approach to setting up such problems using state variables and numerical analysis. Extensive use is made of pre-developed numerical analysis add-ins, which is provided to attendees as part of the course. The resulting structure allows use of Excel's Solver Add-in to accomplish system simulation inside the optimization loop. (2-days - Mincer)

Instructor
Tom R. Mincer, Ph.D., CEO, SpreadsheetWorld Inc. and Professor of Mechanical Engineering, California State University, Northridge (CSUN). Dr. Mincer initiated the use of EXCEL spreadsheets in the under-graduate and graduate curriculum at CSUN by integrating it into the courses on systems design, computational methods and computer-aided-engineering. For the past 10 years he has worked extensively in the areas of systems design, simulation and optimization using the Excel structured spreadsheet environment. He has taught the SpreadsheetWorld 5-day seminar on Spreadsheet Aided Engineering over 80 times to 1,200 engineers including on-sites at Goodyear Tire, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA Glenn Research Center, NASA Johnson Space Center, Jet Propulsion Lab, TRW, General Motors, Delco, Delphi, Naval Weapons Center, Naval Warfare Center, L3 Ocean Systems, Edwards Air Force Base Rocket Research Lab, Hamilton Sundstrand, L.A. Water District, Lockheed Martin, Pratt & Whitney and Honda R&D.
