Excel - well,
it's the most polished spreadsheet there's ever been.
Other did some things better, but Excel does everything you could ever
need.
Actually it doesn't do everything I could ever need which leads me to a
serious qyestion :
Did/does any spreadsheet, on any platform, allow you to put complex
numbers in the cells and operate on them?
Yes, of course you can treat a complex numner as 2 real numbers and
define the appropriate operations -- any spreadsheet will do that. I did
it in Visicalc. But as I use complex numbers a lot in AC circuit
analysis, and I know others who do too, I am suprised no spreadsheet
handles them as well as my HP calculators.
Gosh.
Not that I know of, no!
