What is a Scientific Calculator?
A scientific calculator is a powerful online calculation tool that supports basic operations and advanced scientific computing functions. It provides trigonometric functions, logarithmic functions, exponential operations, power operations, and other scientific calculation features, suitable for students, engineers, researchers, and others who need to perform complex mathematical calculations.
Main Features
Basic Operations
- Click the [number keys]/[function keys] on the web calculator to perform calculations
- You can also use number keys and symbols like "+ – × ÷ , . =" on your keyboard for calculations
- The "Backspace" key on your keyboard can delete the last input
- The "Enter" key on your keyboard is equivalent to "=" and will perform calculations directly
Function Key Descriptions
AC

Use Cases
Frequently Asked Questions
How to switch between degree and radian modes?
Click the "Deg" or "Rad" button on the calculator. Deg means degree mode (0-360 degrees), Rad means radian mode (0-2π).
How to use memory functions?
M+: Add the currently displayed number to memory; M-: Subtract the currently displayed number from memory; MR: Display the number in memory; MC: Clear memory.
What keyboard shortcuts are supported?
Supports number keys 0-9, operators +, -, *, /, Enter (equals), Backspace (delete), decimal point, etc.
How to calculate trigonometric functions?
First select degree mode (Deg) or radian mode (Rad), then enter the angle value, and click the corresponding trigonometric function button (sin, cos, tan).
Can complex numbers be calculated?
The current version does not support complex number calculations, only real number operations.
What is the calculation precision?
The calculation precision depends on JavaScript's floating-point precision, usually 15-17 significant digits.
