Scientific Calculators for PC / cellphone

Post Reply New Topic

Where can I find a scientific Calculator, for my home computer, or for my mobile phone?

It needs to be capable of doing trigonometric functions and logarithms,.

What operating system?

Windows and linux basic calculators can be switched to scientific calculators. Check the regular calculators menu settings. I am sure OSX is the same.

If this is not sufficient, I use python as a calculator. You can install that on windows... OSX and linux come with it.

I just use Excel for pretty much all of my calculator needs. Granted, you may not want to have to pay all the money needed for it, I just already have it because it's required for school.

Type your problem into the bar, wolfram will do damn near anything you could want done to it.

I'd say get one of these:



Casio FX115ES, like $20 at Target or Best Buy or whatever.

Textbook format display, trig, calc, logs, various scientific constants, matrices, all sorts of goodies.

I love mine, gets great reviews too, basically described as 90% of a TI86 besides the graphing capabilities.

On Windows, there's a Power Calculator in Power Toys.
