In this book, Norman Lawrence starts with using Schema2 as a standard spreadsheet application - formatting data, formulae and functions, matrix operations and plotting graphs, plus handling Excel files.

Schema2‘s real power lies with its macros, written in a BBC Basic-like language. Once you have mastered macros with the help of numerous examples provided, you are at once extending the Schema2 software to do many things in many fields — business, engineering, commerce, maths and teaching to name a few.

The appendices are a concise reference for the styles, effects, functions and macros.
