FORTRAN is old, but not obsolete. Some legacy programmes and routines are still used in conjunction with modules and GUIs developped in C, C++, visual C, Visual Pascal etc.
TeX is is the standard used by scholarly journals published by scientific societies such as AMS, APS (American Mathematical Society. American Physical Society). IN Comparison with TeX Microsoft Word looks pathetically amateur.

I believe we used Jing to download them, and some of the other FLV download software out there. However there are also messages out there saying that they track your usage and will disable your account if they believe you are downloading or going through them too fast or whatever, so be careful.

about 10 years ago, i took a set of 4 or 5 courses from compusa. i cannot find the books and do not find them listed. i found them extremely valuable for years. (i'm retired now). "flying by seat of pants" will not generate pivot tables, charts or graphs. spread sheets are easy. just fill in the box. once you get beyond that, does not hurt to take a course. even self help course is good.
i think excel 2010 is terrible. i would get a copy of 2003 or 07 or such. the program has been trashed with complicated useless opportunities to get lost.

While in college my friends and I spent some time researching the options. Here are my two cents:
I would recommend Excel Boot Camp (www.excelbootcamp.com ). The tutorial is inside Excel so you can learn by playing around in a spreadsheet.
Excel Everest (www.exceleverest.com) is similar. It's also based inside Excel, but I would say the topics are less practical (it focuses quite a bit on formatting, shapes, and other "colorful" features).
I've done them both (everest first, boot camp second). Would definitely recommend boot camp between the two. I also have investment banking friends who took a course by a company called Prep for Wall Street and they thought it was good.
There's plenty of free resources out there, but in my experience they're mostly long/boring videos or online text. Very inefficient way to learn IMO. I'd highly recommend one of these spreadsheet based tutorials.

Many of Lynda.com courses are awesome, and it really is too bad can't download to watch later. I would have kept my subscription if I could have done that to watch on the plane.
I'm a very casual Excel user, and agree Excel for Dummies to 1) get you started and 2) give you feel for what is possible. After that, just Google what want to do or having problem with, and within a couple clicks there is the answer.

HiI found the online excel course at Learn Excel Online: | Live Support | Also Group Courses - excellent as it comes with live chat support as you study and is certified. UK students should try the UK version at Online Excel Course with Live Chat support and certification for the UK
