Abstract
The combination of Polymath equation export to Excel and the ODE_Solver Add-In for Excel to solve complex problems which include solution of non-linear algebraic equations and ordinary differential equations is discussed. Polymath serves as an efficient pseudo 'compiler' that automatically converts an entire problem into equivalent Excel code. Excel is a convenient tool for ready documentation of engineering problem solving in technical reports. The capabilities of Polymath/Excel can also be very important in educational settings to help students to solve problems that involve numerical solution techniques with several software packages.
