About Calculator

A calculator is a device or software used to perform mathematical calculations. From basic arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) to complex scientific functions (trigonometry, logarithms, exponentials), calculators are essential tools in education, engineering, finance, and daily life.

Did you know? The first mechanical calculator was invented by Blaise Pascal in 1642.

How To Use

Basic Arithmetic

Simply enter numbers and operators (e.g., 2 + 2) and press = to see the result.

Clear & Correct

Use AC to clear everything or to delete the last character.

Common Uses

  • Education: Solving math problems.
  • Finance: Budgets & expenses.
  • Science: Data analysis & conversions.
  • Daily Life: Bill splitting & shopping.

Effective Use

For quick everyday calculations, the standard mode is optimized for speed. Use the history tape feature to keep track of past calculations.

This tool is useful for High School & College Students, Engineers, and Scientists (and for everyone else who needs a professional-grade calculator for daily or advanced math).

Scientific Calculator FAQs

What is "Ans"?

The "Ans" button allows you to use the result of your previous calculation in your current expression, which is essential for multi-step problems.

How do I switch between Degrees and Radians?

In Scientific mode, use the radio buttons above the display. This is critical for trigonometric functions like Sine and Cosine.

What is the "History Tape"?

The tape feature stores a running list of your calculations, allowing you to review your work and catch errors without starting over.
