Congratulations to Doug Jenkins, who writes the Newton Excel Bach, not (just) an Excel Blog blog. His entry UDFs for trigonometric functions was selected as winner in the Contest for Excel Models in Science and Engineering.
Doug’s winning entry was selected at random from among the following six entries:
- Lorentz Attractor – Timothy Bard
- Diffusion-Limited Aggregation – Timothy Bard
- Section Properties – Doug Jenkins
- UDFs for trigonometric functions – Doug Jenkins
- UDFs for elastic analysis of concrete – Doug Jenkins
- Estimating unpumped aquifer water levels – Keith Halford
I originally announced a signed copy of Bernard Liengme’s Guide to Microsoft Excel 2002 for Scientists and Engineers only for US and Canada entrants, but a quick review of shipping tells me I can afford to send Doug the same prize. Be patient, Doug, the package will take about two weeks to get down under.

I really dig Doug’s site as well. Can we get a link to the other entrants sites if they have them? I’d be interested to read more by excellent Excel gurus.

Dan – The other entrants have not provided web site addresses. Timothy used a third party file hosting site for his solutions, and Keith posted his on a government site.

Sorry, I don’t know a website. Maybe I should start one…

Timothy – For what it’s worth, my whole business started as a free web site hosted on GeoCities. It got larger and larger, expanding beyond the capacity allowed for a free Yahoo/GeoCities site. I bought my domain and found a hosting company, and the site grew further as I started a company. When I started the blog, the database requirements were more than that cheap host could accommodate, so I found another host nearly as cheap. Depending on how much of an obsession it becomes, you could stay indefinitely in a free hosting situation.
