The e-book brings some of the most recent applications of spreadsheets in education and research to the fore. To offer the reader a broad overview of the diversity of applications carefully chosen articles from engineering (power systems and control) mathematics (calculus differential equations and probability) science (physics and chemistry) and education are provided. Some of these applications make use of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) a versatile computer language that further expands the functionality of spreadsheets.
