Spreadsheet Modeling and Excel Solver A mathematical model implemented in a spreadsheet is called a spreadsheet model. Major spreadsheet packages come with a built-in optimization tool called Solver. Now we demonstrate how to use Excel spreadsheet modeling and Solver to find the optimal solution of optimization problems. If the model has two variables‚ the graphical method can be used to solve the model. Very few real world problems involve only two variables. For problems with more than two variables

| | | | A compiler is a computer program that implements a programming language specification to "translate" programs‚ usually as a set of files which constitute the source code written in source language‚ into their equivalent machine readable instructions (the target language‚ often having a binary form known as object code). This translation process is called compilation. We compile the source program to create the compiled program. The compiled program can then be run (or executed) to do

Sun is a full spectrum of different wavelengths of light. Scientists refer to this light as “white light”. When the wavelength of visible light changes‚ so does the color seen by the eye. The shortest wavelengths visible to the human eye are violet (400 nanometers). The longest wavelengths visible the human eye are red (700 nanometers). Each plant is affected differently by the changing wavelengths of light. The purpose of this experiment is to test the effects of different wavelengths on raphanus
