Scientific Calculator

A full scientific calculator that runs in your browser. Click the buttons or type on your keyboard to perform calculations as you would on a physical calculator — trigonometry, logarithms, powers, roots, factorials, memory, and a running history of your last results.

How to use it

Build an expression exactly as you would write it: the display shows the expression as you type and a live result underneath. Parentheses group as usual, multiplication is implied where mathematics implies it — 2π and 2(3+4) both work — and pressing = records the calculation in the history and makes the result available through Ans. Function keys such as sin, ln, and √ insert the function and an opening parenthesis; close it yourself or let the calculator close it when you press =. Postfix keys act on the value just before them: x² squares, n! takes the factorial, % divides by 100, and 1/x inverts.

The functions at a glance

KeysWhat they do
sin cos tan · sin⁻¹ cos⁻¹ tan⁻¹Trigonometry and inverse trigonometry, in degrees or radians (see the Deg/Rad toggle).
xʸ · ʸ√x · x² · x³ · √x · ∛xPowers and roots. xʸ is a general power; ʸ√x takes the y-th root of x (enter y first); the rest are the common fixed cases.
ln · log · eˣ · 10ˣNatural logarithm, base-10 logarithm, and their inverse exponentials.
n! · % · 1/x · ±Factorial (exact for whole numbers to 170, via the gamma function beyond), percent (divide by 100), reciprocal, and sign change of the last value or group.
π · e · EXP · RNDThe constants π and e, scientific-notation entry (×10ⁿ), and a random decimal between 0 and 1.
Ans · M+ · M− · MR · Back · ACLast answer, memory add/subtract/recall, delete the last entry, and all-clear (AC clears the expression; memory survives until you overwrite it).

Keyboard shortcuts

Digits and . + − * / type directly; ^ is power, % is percent, and ( ) group. Enter or = evaluates, Backspace deletes the last entry, and Escape clears. The calculator keeps double precision internally — roughly 15 significant digits — and displays 12, switching to exponential notation outside that comfortable range, so a result like 0.1 + 0.2 shows the honest 0.3 rather than a trail of binary rounding dust.
