Scientific Calculator

Advanced scientific calculator with trigonometric functions, logarithms, and mathematical constants. Perfect for students, engineers, and scientists.

Methodology, assumptions, and limitations

Expressions are evaluated using the selected angle mode and standard mathematical precedence: parentheses, powers and roots, multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction. Trigonometric functions use radians unless degree mode is explicitly selected.

Assumptions
  • Numbers are interpreted as real values unless a function states otherwise.
  • Log means base 10 and ln means the natural logarithm.
  • Displayed precision may be lower than the internal floating-point value.
Limitations
  • Floating-point arithmetic can introduce tiny rounding differences.
  • Some functions are undefined for parts of the real-number domain.
  • This tool is not a symbolic algebra or arbitrary-precision system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between degrees and radians?

Degrees and radians are two ways to measure angles. Degrees use a 360° circle, while radians use 2π for a full circle. Most calculators can work in either mode.

How do I calculate logarithms?

Use 'log' for base-10 logarithms and 'ln' for natural logarithms (base e). For example, log(100) = 2 and ln(e) = 1.

What are the mathematical constants available?

π (pi) ≈ 3.14159 and e (Euler's number) ≈ 2.71828 are available as constants for use in calculations.

Can I use this calculator for complex equations?

Yes, you can combine multiple functions and operations. For example: sin(30) + cos(60) or log(100) × √16.
