    Study Notes

    Data Processing and Databases Applications

    • Data processing is the manipulation of data by a computer, including conversion of raw data to machine-readable form, flow of data through CPU and memory, and output devices.
    • It involves transformation or formatting of output.

    Spreadsheets

    • Spreadsheets are software used to capture, display, manipulate, and analyze data, typically in a numerical format.
    • They can also store addresses and contact information.
    • Spreadsheet software automatically calculates data based on formulas or functions created.
    • Examples of spreadsheet software include Google Sheets (built-in feature of Google Workspace) and others.

    Other Examples of Spreadsheets

    • SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) is a software package used for statistical analysis, particularly in social sciences.
    • SAS (Statistical Analysis System) is a programming language for statistical analysis, used in various fields for data mining and data handling.
    • InVivoStat is a free, powerful statistical software package designed for scientists conducting animal experiments.
