The menu choices are grouped into the following groups:
Gnumeric can be used to solve systems of linear equations and other mathematical problems. These two dialogs enable access to these tools. A full discussion of these tools is presented in Section 13.1.
Goal Seek --- The Goal Seek menu item opens a dialog through which the user can configure Gnumeric to iteratively search for a numeric value which solves a formula. This dialog is explained in Section 13.2.
Solver --- The Solver menu item opens a dialog through which the user can configure Gnumeric to solve linear systems of equations. This is explained in Section 13.1.
Statistical analysis can easily be done with Gnumeric. All the statistical tools are explained in Chapter 14.
