Space and First In

Would a short article on 'calculator math' and 'spreadsheet math' help?

For a calculator, the exact syntax depends on the calculator. Using the Windows calculator, to get a cube root:
Go to the 'view' menu and switch to 'scientific'
Click the 'Inv' checkbox (left edge, upper middle)
Click the 'x^3' button (third column of buttons from the left, second row from the bottom)

For a spreadsheet, the formula is generally quantity^(1/3). The parenthesis are important.
