Describes two computer programs used to aid in data analysis: (1) Develops a method for the propagation of error involving the direct calculation of the error in the dependent variable using a spreadsheet; (2) Examines a simple numerical method for solving complex equilibria. Lists a FORTRAN 77 program. (MVL)

Describes a possible exam or homework problem for a physical chemistry course. Investigates the temperature and concentration dependence of homogeneous chemical equilibria. Provides acceptable solutions. Offers a computer program able to provide partial credit on questions requiring four-seven sequenced items. Program available from author. (MVL)

"Spreadsheets in Physical Chemistry" contains reviewed and classroom tested Lotus 1-2-3 and SuperCalc IV templates and handouts designed for use in physical chemistry courses. The 21 templates keyed to Atkins' physical chemistry textbook, the 7 numerical methods templates, and the 10 simulation templates are discussed. (MVL)
