A spreadsheet is a form or table comprised of corresponding rows and columns used
to store information. They are commonly used to list large amounts of information
that would be difficult to understand if written out in standard prose or they are used
to organize mathematical information, particularly in accounting. They are extremely
useful, however, in many different fields. For example, the spreadsheet above makes
it easy to see immediately what each student got on each assignment and the rows
and columns make it easy to make necessary calculations, such as grade point
averages.

Spreadsheets can make almost all data easier to understand. For example, the table
