Scientific Calculator
Advanced scientific calculator with trigonometry, logarithms, powers, roots, and constants.
How to use the Scientific Calculator
- Tap numbers and operators as you would on a handheld calculator.
- Use brackets to control the order of operations.
- Switch between DEG and RAD before using sin, cos or tan.
- Press = to evaluate; use C or AC to clear.
How expressions are evaluated
Worked example
Examples
2 + 3 × 4 = 14 (not 20, because multiplication comes first)
sin(30) in DEG mode = 0.5
log(1000) = 3 ln(e) = 1
5! = 120 √144 = 12 210 = 1024
Degrees vs radians
Trigonometric functions depend on the angle unit. 180° equals π radians, so sin(90) is 1 in degree mode but about 0.894 in radian mode. School geometry problems usually use degrees; calculus and physics formulas usually use radians. Most wrong trig answers come from being in the wrong mode.
Common functions
- log — base-10 logarithm; ln — natural logarithm (base e ≈ 2.718)
- xy — powers; √ — square root
- n! — factorial, the product of all positive integers up to n
- π ≈ 3.14159 and e ≈ 2.71828 as constants
Tips for accurate results
- Use brackets generously when typing long expressions.
- For percentages of a number, the percentage calculator is quicker.
- Very large factorials (above 170!) exceed what a browser can display.
