Using Electronic Spreadsheets to Solve Engineering Problems with an Introduction to Expert System Techniques

Abstract

Computer spreadsheet software is one of the most important applications for the micro computer. Spreadsheet can be used to conduct a vast majority of engineering analyses in a fraction of the time it formerly took with better accuracy and documentation. The report has the immediate purpose of describing the general concepts of electronic spreadsheet usage in engineering. In addition, the new concepts of expert system techniques are introduced for the possible incorporation of these techniques into the design of electronic spreadsheet's programming. The report describes the electronic spreadsheet and presents examples of its usages. The report concludes with a conceptual overview of expert systems.
