Spreadsheet

Data can be manipulated a lot easier on a computer, give it’s fitted with the right software components. For instance, Spreadsheet is a powerful program which engulfs a variety of data calculus, storage, and plotting tools with different built-in examples, animations, and an intuitive main menu for quick access to all tools.

Before you can actually run the application you need to make sure that your computer is fitted with Java Runtime Environment, which is also mandatory for the setup process. Once launched, the main menu shows up, letting you choose the tool you want to work with. These are organized in three different groups, such as general purpose tools, custom, and advanced apps.

Although there’s no direct correlation between tools you access, there is the possibility to have more opened at a time, since each comes with its own window while the main menu also stays active. External resources and files are mostly similar, such as TXT, GIF, or CMT, the application’s own format. It would have been useful to see better compatibility, especially with spreadsheet or rich text file types.

Every tool has its own set of parameters, arrangement, and specialized canvas. Some are fitted with table layouts for spreadsheet data manipulation and function calculus, while others combine drawing tools with plotters to generate various graphs, and even animate particular simulations.

Functions can include basic math operations, advanced calculus tools, as well as algebraic, matrices, and trigonometry. These can be easily selected from dedicated menus. What’s more, you only find the functions, options, and operators you need for a specific process and not all of them to create confusion or generate issues.

General purpose tools offer a couple of dedicated tools for algebra and functions, geometry and trigonometry, as well as statistics and probability. While custom apps are dedicated to the same categories, but with a larger variety of tools, advanced apps are dedicated to discrete mathematics, and continuous mathematics, such as control charts, codes and cryptography, or contour diagrams.

To sum it up, Spreadsheet provides quite the depth of tools and options with which to process significant quantities of data in dedicated workspaces fitted only with functions you need. Multiple tools can be kept active at a time, and even though it can take some accommodation time, it’s only because of the abundance of possibilities, with results sure not to disappoint.
