This calculator processes mathematical expressions using JavaScript's Math library for advanced functions. Input numbers, operators, and functions via buttons; it evaluates upon pressing equals, handling parentheses for precedence. Toggle between degrees and radians for trigonometric accuracy. It displays 'Error' for invalid inputs like division by zero or undefined operations. Recent calculations are stored and displayed in the history panel on the side, allowing you to click and reuse previous expressions.
Scientific calculators extend basic arithmetic to include functions essential for STEM fields, enabling computations involving angles, exponents, logarithms, factorials, and more.
These tools integrate algebraic logic with specialized operations, supporting real numbers and complex expressions for precise problem-solving in physics, chemistry, and engineering. The history feature allows tracking multiple computations for iterative analysis.
Fundamental operations include:
For example, factorial: \( 5! = 120 \). Mode affects results; radians use \( \theta \) in \( [0, 2\pi] \). Use history to review sequences of operations.
Emerging in the 1970s with HP-35, scientific calculators revolutionized computation, replacing slide rules. Advancements included programmable models in the 1980s, leading to modern digital interfaces with history tracking for enhanced usability.
Used in academia for solving equations, in engineering for circuit design, and in data analysis for statistical modeling. The history panel aids in iterative research, allowing quick reference to prior results.
Example 1: Compute \( \sin(45^\circ) \approx 0.707 \). Example 2: Evaluate \( e^2 \approx 7.389 \). Example 3: Factorial \( 6! = 720 \). Verify using the calculator interface and check history.
What functions does this calculator support? It includes trigonometric, inverse trig, logs, exponentials, roots, powers, factorials, abs, mod, floor/ceil, random, and constants like pi and e.
How to switch between degrees and radians? Use the DEG/RAD button; the mode is displayed above the buttons.
What if an error occurs? The display shows 'Error' for invalid expressions; clear and retry. History remains unaffected.
How does the history work? Recent calculations are listed on the side; click to load back into the display for editing or re-evaluation.
