do date math with google sheets

You can use some basic date functions in Google Sheets to work with dates and use date math. Dates in spreadsheets are numbers, which means you can add and subtract them.  Do not think of them as strings of text such as “10 January 2015.” If you treat dates as strings of text, then using date math would be very complicated as you would have to isolate different parts of the date, convert that to a number, add or subtract from the number, and then convert it back to text. It is much easier to work just with dates as numbers and then use the formatting feature in Google Sheets to display the dates as you want them.
