Abstract

The students errors which often arise during studying spreadsheets are considered in the paper. The errors are the incorrect record of functions or numbers in the exponential format and the inability to analyse the functional behaviour and the incorrect interpretation of arithmetical mean. The reason of error's appearance is the insufficient mathematical training of students or the incorrect analysis of the work situation. As the result, there is an incorrect selection of the mathematical solution. The recommendations of the error recovery are suggested.
