Solutions to Problem Sets
This is a page of links to the problem set solutions.
In the solution worksheets, cells are color-coded. The color code is arbitrary, but we use it in this course to make the solution worksheets easier for you to understand. You need not use these colors yourself when you submit homework. However, when you construct worksheets for others to view, as you might have to do at work, using a consistent cell color scheme can make understanding your worksheets easier for your audience.
Here’s what the codes mean:

The first homework assignment has a fair amount of reading attached to it. Some students feel that the best approach is to read it all, and then try to do the homework. For most of us, such an approach doesn’t work very well.
Before you begin the course, read the general material, such as “Getting Started,” “Software You Need for This Course,” and “How to Work.”
Later, as you begin the homework, let the homework drive your reading choices. For instance, the first homework assignment does require that you master certain techniques. Read “Names” and “The Ripple Principle.” Then, if something confuses you, read up on it: examples are “The Basics of Recalculation” and “References.” Learning something when you need it, and only when you need it, is usually the best way to go.
Parentheses sometimes make a real difference. For instance A1*B1+2 is very different from A1*(B1+2). But A1*(B1*2) is exactly the same as A1*B1*2. When the parentheses don’t make any difference in the value of the result, it’s not usually a good idea to include them. They tend to make the formulas harder to read, and there’s always the chance that you’ll put them in the wrong place. More
