A spreadsheet in this context is a computer program designed to help in the processing of structured information, commonly numbers. The word spreadsheet comes from how accountants would use a SHEET of paper to SPREAD values like costs and profit into a format that was easy to see.

In line with its paper based origins the spreadsheet program we will be looking at can also be used to manipulate numbers, in fact if you have any structured data that you need to be presented in an attractive way then a spreadsheet is the best tool.

The advantage of using a spreadsheet over other programs is that it can constantly update figures without having to constantly re-calculate the results, when your spreadsheet is set up all calculations will be instantly updated and the results will be correct. You can start performing “what if” calculations, make one change in a large spreadsheet and the results can be viewed instantly.

For this course we will use the Program Calc from the free LibreOffice package.
