Scientific Calculator
A scientific calculator with trigonometry, logs, powers and brackets. Type on your keyboard or tap the keys.
History
Functions
| Key | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
| sin cos tan | Trigonometry | sin(30) = 0.5 in degrees |
| sin⁻¹ cos⁻¹ tan⁻¹ | Inverse trigonometry (angle from a ratio) | sin⁻¹(1) = 90 |
| x² xʸ | Powers | 2^10 = 1,024 |
| √ | Square root | √(144) = 12 |
| ln log | Natural log and log base 10 | log(1000) = 3 |
| n! | Factorial | 5! = 120 |
| % | Divide by 100 | 15% × 80 = 12 |
| Ans | The previous answer | Ans × 2 |
Answers show up to 12 significant figures. Very large or small numbers use E notation: 1.5E9 means 1.5 × 10⁹.
Frequently asked questions
Degrees or radians?
Choose Degrees for everyday angles (a right angle is 90°) and Radians for maths and physics work where angles are in terms of π (a right angle is π/2). The setting affects sin, cos, tan and their inverses.
What order are calculations done in?
The usual order of operations (BIDMAS): brackets, then powers, then multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction. So 2 + 3 × 4 = 14, and −2² = −4.
What can I type?
Numbers, + − * / ^ ( ) ! and %, plus sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, ln, log, sqrt, abs, exp, pi, e and Ans. You can leave out the × sign, as in 2π or 3(4 + 1). Press Enter for the answer and Escape to clear.
