Scientific Calculator resembles Advanced Calculator from Math Center Level 1 but requires higher level of mathematical education. All simple functions like square and square root are absent. Instead, there are added Factorial, Sigma for sum series and Capital Pi for product series.
With these functions you can calculate Taylor polynomials (series), for example. The Scientific Calculator has two editing windows. One is for editing x, and the second is for editing f(x). In the x window you can enter any number or formula which contains numbers. In the f(x) window you can enter formulas containing numbers and formulas containing x. First, x will be calculated. Then the result for x will be substituted into the formula for f(x). The presence of two editing windows demands switching between windows. You can do it by clicking buttons "go to x" and "go to f(x)", or by clicking inside the window. If you forget to enter x, then the x=1 will be assumed. If you forget to enter f(x), then f(x)=x will be assumed.
Scientific Calculator works in scientific mode. All numbers in internal calculations are treated in scientific format, like 1.23456789012345E 2 for 123.456789012345. You also can use scientific notation in formulas. If you get result NaN, like in ln(-1), that means that the function is not defined for given argument. Otherwise Scientific Calculator is similar to Simple Calculators. There are options to save and print calculation history, to change font, and standard editing options. more
