[Blindmath] excell and formulas

[Sarah Clark]

Hi George,
I was not a finance major in school so did not take any related courses 
except Financial Accounting, but I have worked as a financial advisor and 
during my career I have taken classes in Financial Planning per the 
requirements for the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) crudential.

I did not have to use a scientific or graphing calculator in my studies, but 
I did use a financial calculator extensively in the CFP program, and found 
the financial calculator provided with Kurzweil to be extremely useful.

And though I did not use it for this purpose, I imagine Excel could be 
helpful in laying out information for accounting or some other mathematical 
based information. But I think this sort of thing is sometimes a matter of 
trial and error to see what works best for you, because something that works 
best for one person may not be the preferred method for the next person.

Sarah
