From a computational viewpoint, a formula not only describes a process
for computing a value but can also be understood as the value itself. is
chapter rst describes how formulas are used in the context of spread-
sheets. Numerical operators are characterized in terms of arity, asso-
ciativity, and precedence. In addition, the formulas of a spreadsheet are
