Related Software Packages
There are many interactive software packages that provide user-accessible calculation features, but that are not normally called calculators, because the calculation features play only a supporting role rather than being an end in themselves. These include:
- Spreadsheets, where user-supplied calculations can define a cell’s content.
- Computer algebra systems, which can manipulate mathematical expressions, including evaluating simple calculations.
- Databases, where user-supplied calculations can specify a field’s value.

“Just as a new scientific discovery manifests something that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
