Try out gnumeric.  They have a goal seek, solver and analysis pack.  The 
analysis pack has Forrier Transforms, statitstics and other impressive stuff 
that you sould expect from free software's massive math libraries.  A few 
months ago, they anounced complete math function overlap with Excel.  The only 
difference is that the fixed their bugs so you get right answers.  I'm using an 
old version 1.0.8, and it looks like it's got all you need.   Does it run on 
Win32?  I don't know or care. 

A quick look at Star Office 6.0 leaves me stumped.  They have other names for 
their tools, so I don't know exactly what they do.
