About Scientific Calculator

Scientific calculator provides advanced mathematical functions beyond basic arithmetic.

Available Functions:

  • Trigonometric: sin, cos, tan (radians/degrees)
  • Logarithmic: log (base 10), ln (natural log)
  • Exponential: x², x³, xʸ (power)
  • Constants: π (pi), e (Euler's number)
  • Roots: √ (square root)

Usage Tips:

  • Use parentheses for complex expressions
  • Switch between radians and degrees for trig functions
  • View calculation history for reference
  • Use ^ for power operations

This calculator supports basic scientific functions. For more advanced calculations, consider specialized mathematical software.

How our scientific calculator works

1

Type an expression

Enter a math expression using standard notation: sin(30), log(100), 2^10, sqrt(144), or complex combinations like (5+3)*sqrt(9).

2

Use advanced functions

Switch between degrees and radians. Access trig (sin/cos/tan), inverse trig, logs (log/ln), exponents, roots, factorials, and constants like pi and e.

3

Read the result with history

The current answer shows at the top. Scroll down for a running history of every calculation in the session so you can audit and reuse intermediate values.

Key things to know about our scientific calculator:

  • Degrees vs radians: Trig functions in math and physics classes use radians; geometry and navigation use degrees.
  • Fraction and decimal work: For step-by-step fraction and decimal work, pair with our fraction calculator and decimal to fraction calculator.
  • Same engine as classrooms: The scientific calculator is the same engine used in physics, engineering, and finance courses worldwide.

Type the angle first, then press the sin, cos, or tan button. Make sure the calculator is in DEG mode for degrees or RAD for radians. sin(30°) = 0.5, cos(60°) = 0.5, tan(45°) = 1. Our scientific calculator supports both modes and the inverse functions (asin, acos, atan) for finding angles from ratios.

How it works

How to use the scientific calculator

Access trigonometry, logarithms, exponents, and memory functions in a standard scientific calculator layout.

  1. 1

    Enter your expression

    Type a number or expression using the on-screen keys. You can use parentheses, the pi and e constants, and the standard functions.

  2. 2

    Choose the angle mode

    Toggle between DEG (degrees) and RAD (radians) as needed for trigonometry. Most everyday math uses degrees.

  3. 3

    Apply a function

    Tap a function key like sin, cos, log, ln, sqrt, or x^y to apply it to the current entry or to a sub-expression in parentheses.

  4. 4

    Read the result

    Press equals to evaluate. The result appears in the display, ready to be used in the next calculation.
