I need to evaluate some physics experiments where I have some values which got measured. I thought I could use ConTeXt with LuaTeX to do all the calculations instead of the calculator and enter the results by hand or a spreadsheet program. Would I enter the values (not many) at the top of the TeX document and refer to them in the other places? Is an extra file a better approach?
