Teaching Software used at UNE

Note, the following are mainly Excel spreadsheets (often including a macro). They are meant to help you get started if you are interested. We cannot be held responsible for any commercial damage that you think are the result of using these spreadsheets.

There is generally no help support and sheets and cells are not fully protected.
We have not always spent the time to make them fully user friendly.

However, we hope some of these can be useful for you.
