内容説明
Thanks to the spreadsheet, simulation modelling is now accessible to anyone with a microcomputer. In this book, the author aims to explain how to create models of different environmental phenomena. These range from natural processes such as the dispersion of water and air pollution, to social processes such as housing affordability. The book offers complete "recipes" for building and running the models in the most popular spreadsheet programs, such as: Lotus 1-2-3, SuperCalc, Excel and Quatro. A 3.5" diskette, containing Lotus or SuperCalc data files for all 14 models may be ordered, using a tear-out card accompanying the book (spreadsheet software is required).
