The numerical calculations performed by scientists and engineers range from the very simple to the
complex. MS EXCEL is a tool that facilitates numerical calculations and increases a scientist or
engineer’s productivity. MS EXCEL can be used for numerical calculations, data analysis, graphics
and programming in a single easy to use package. Getting high school students to use spreadsheets
is a good starting point for them to emulate how scientists and engineers do some of their numerical
processing and data analysis.
