Is Apple Numbers suitable for data analysis in physics?

[Levi Tate]

Hi. I was thinking about getting Numbers by apple to do data analysis for an intro to modern physics course and an optics lab. I was wondering if anybody thinks it is a good product and easy to use like most things apple?

Is this for a MacBook or iMac (Mac OS) or an iPad (iOS)?

It is for Mac or probably apple, it is supposed to be like Excel.

You could instead get OpenOffice which has a spreadsheet + word processor... just like MS Office and is interoperable with MS Excel. AND its free.

Excuse me, for Mac and probably PC too.
