In Contest - Excel Models for Science and Engineering I announced a contest for scientific and engineering uses of Excel. People can enter up to three candidate Excel models (up to six if they blog about the contest) by posting a link to the model in a comment to that post or to this one. The models have to be freely available, and have to at least seem to do something. I’m not judging on the merits of the models: a contest winner will be chosen at random from the submitted models.

The deadline for entries is now one week away. All entries must be posted by midnight, Friday, July 4, 2008.

The contest winner will receive a copy of Excel MVP Bernard Liengme’s Guide to Microsoft Excel 2002 for Scientists and Engineers for US/Canada entrants or a $25 Amazon gift certificate by email. If you live elsewhere but still want the book, and I can ship it for about the cost of the gift certificate, let me know, and I’ll ship it. This is the Excel 2002 edition of the book. The Excel 2007 edition will not be out until this fall, but any lessons learned in the Excel 2002 version are applicable to Excel 2007, though some of the specific commands may have changed.
