We ask that you consider a $10 donation, but if you can give more thats great, if $10 is too much for your budget we would be happy with whatever you can afford as a show of support.
Introduction
Spreadsheets are a very powerful and widely-used tool. Spreadsheet softwares can
generate graphs, do calculations extremely quickly, and even predict the future
using statistics!
This section introduces you to the basics of spreadsheets, and walks through a
few illustrative examples.
There are multiple spreadsheet softwares and the one we will focus on in this
textbook is Google Sheets. While functionality may differ slightly across
platforms, the core concepts and syntaxes are the same. In this course, whenever
sheets are mentioned, it is in reference to Google Sheets, which is pictured
below with example student data.
