EEMath 12 Chapter 1

This document discusses using Microsoft Excel to solve numerical methods problems. It provides an example of using Excel to calculate the sum of several numbers and exponential functions. The document then demonstrates how to use the IF function in Excel to evaluate logical conditions. It provides an example of using the IF function to determine if individuals over 50 years old would be affected by side effects of the Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine based on their age. The document concludes with another example using an IF function to evaluate COVID-19 risk based on death rate data.

EEMATH 12- NUMERICAL METHODS AND ANALYSIS

CHAPTER 1: Introduction to Numerical Method Using


Excel

Objective:
In this lesson, students are expected to learn the basic functions of excel in solving
mathematical problems.

Discussion:
Numerical Method is one of the fundamentals of Engineering Mathematics. This
method is an approximate solution to mathematical problems through the performance of a
finite number of elementary operations on numbers. It reduces the solutions of mathematical
problems to computations that can be performed manually or using calculating machines. But
because of the evolution of technology, the computer was introduced to us to make our work
easier and faster. So why solve it manually if you can let the computer do all your
calculations? Microsoft Excel is the most commonly used software for solving numerical
methods through computers.
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet developed by Microsoft for Windows, Mac OS,
Android, and iOS. It features calculation, graphing tools, pivot tables, and
a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications. It has been a very
widely applied spreadsheet for these platforms, especially since version 5 in 1993, and it has
replaced Lotus 1-2-3 as the industry standard for spreadsheets. Excel forms part of Microsoft
Office.
The picture below shows the different parts of MS excel.

Sample Problem:

Open an excel and perform the following.


1. 9999+888+77+6
37 244
2. 27+ e +
12
Now let’s start! In number 1 we need to input each value in one column like this in
this picture.

We used the function Sum because we are adding. After that, we just drag it down
until 6.

There you go! So the sum of the numbers is 10,970.

Let’s proceed to Number 2, In number 2 the first thing you should do is to


input the values in one column. But how can we input the e 37? Locate the formula bar
and input “=exp(37)”. And in dividing we input “=244/12” to the
function bar giving you this data.

Now all values are ready for the addition process.

Then you can determine that the sum is 1.17E+16.

Application:

The following equations sum up all the values.


2
e
(a) 2020+ +(ln(200)+277)
359

(b) Use the function IF statement.


The IF function is one of the most popular functions in Excel, and it allows
you to make logical comparisons between a value and what you expect.
So an IF statement can have two results. The first result is if your comparison
is True, and the second is if your comparison is False.

With the given inputs find the value of y:

If N is odd then y= 2*(x) and if N is even then y=3*(x).

The function can be used to evaluate text, values, and even errors. It is not limited to
only checking if one thing is equal to another and returning a single result. We can also use
mathematical operators and perform additional calculations, depending on our criteria. We
can also nest multiple IF functions together to perform multiple comparisons.

IF Formula

=IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)

The function uses the following arguments:

1. Logical_test (required argument) – This is the condition to be tested and evaluated as


either TRUE or FALSE.
2. Value_if_true (optional argument) – The value that will be returned if the logical_test
evaluates to TRUE.
3. Value_if_false (optional argument) – The value that will be returned if the
logical_test evaluates to FALSE.

When using the IF function to construct a test, we can use the following logical operators:

 = (equal to)
 > (greater than)
 >= (greater than or equal to)
 < (less than)
 <= (less than or equal to)
 <> (not equal to)

Suppose we wish to do a very simple test. We want to test if the value in cell C2 is
greater than or equal to the value in cell D2. If the argument is true, then we want to return
some text stating “Yes it is”, and if it’s not true, then we want to display “No it isn’t”.

You can see exactly how the Excel IF statement works in the simple example below.

(c) For the meantime, the “Sinovac”

is the only Covid-19 Vaccine that is available in the Philippines. Even though the efficacy of
the Sinovac has been found to be as low as 50.4% by the researchers, still many Filipinos
chose to be vaccinated just to have a little additional protection for them. Some of the
Filipinos experienced side effec ts after being injected by the vaccine like fever, fatigue,
headaches, body aches, chills, and nausea.
According to the WHO, people ages 50 and above are most likely to experience these
side effects. Column A is the names of the persons who are vaccinated, column B contains
their respective ages and column C is attained from the IF statement if they can be affected
by those side effects or not.

Drag it down, until you get a conclusion. Therefore, Miya, Nana and Belerick were
affected by Covid-19.

(d) Data from centers for disease control and prevention.


If the death rate is 100, the covid-19 risk is high.
