Introduction to spreadsheets:
What is a spreadsheet? what are the various types of spreadsheets? Who would use
spreadsheets? How is it beneficial to students, adults and businesses?
A spread sheet is an electronic document in which data is arranged in rows and columns of a grid and can be manipulated and used in calculations. Theres two dimensional spreadsheets, three dimensional spreadsheets, logical spreadsheets, arithmetic spreadsheets and object oriented spreadsheets. Spread sheets can be used by schools to keep track of student attendance or who paid, etc. It can be used by engineers because they need to make lots of calculation while working and it would take way too long to do each calculation on its own. It can also be used by sales people, supermarkets and market researchers to keep track of the items they have sold and to track their finances, loses etc. Its also used by scientists to keep track of their experiments. It can also be used by normal people who would like to keep track of their daily habits. It can also be used by teachers to track their detentions or the marks they've given their students.
It is beneficial to students because as I said they can track their habits and by that I mean they can track how many days they've been late, how many times they've don't their homework last minute etc. but they can also track their homework or their attendance. It would be useful for adults because then they can use it for their jobs and again just like the students they can use it for daily habits. It would be useful for all types of businesses, if its sales people they can use it to track their sales or if it was an accountant they can track their financials or the prophets and forecasts and the wages of the employees. Overall its useful for lots of people mainly adults tho and it saves time and paper.
