[an error occurred while processing this directive] The spreadsheets software began its widespread use in business and finance (accounting for example), and so it is placed within the Office Software section. Certainly it is also used a lot by scientists/engineers because of its capabilities of easy manipulation/computation of data and generation of simple plots. It is, however, not suitable for intensive calculations, sophisticated graphics, and large scale data processing (these topics are covered in previous sections). Since Office Suites might also contain a spreadsheet program, that section is also worth a check. Search SAL:
