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.
