[Phys-L] Re: Excel substitute

[Rick Tarara <rtarara@SAINTMARYS.EDU>]

OTOH, there is quite a lot to be said about everyone using the same
software, at home and at school.  The student version of Microsoft Office
2003 is readily available for under $100--that is, about the price of a
typical textbook.  The software will be much more useful (well at least will
be used a lot more) than the textbooks.  So, I for one, see nothing amiss
with expecting students to use Excel if that is the campus software.

Rick (teaching where $100 is at the low end of a monthly telephone bill for
most students!)
