Abstract

We present in this work some possible uses of an Excel worksheet for teaching a non-experimental subject to freshmen university students. We show two different kinds of applications: On the one hand we use the program as an aid for teachers and students in solving systematic exercises and, on the other hand, as a tool for understanding interesting problems that are usually not considered because the students lack the mathematical skills needed. With our approach, we are able to generalize results from a great variety of initial conditions in a fast, clear and interactive way. We have selected Excel because of its widespread presence and its ease of use.
