Need a Scientific Calculator?
Monday December 18, 2006
Have you ever been stuck away from home without a calculator? Or have you set off to do your math homework, only to discover that you’ve left your scientific calculator at school?
There is a solution! Most PCs come loaded with Microsoft Calculator, a handy tool that you can access right from your desktop. Simply go to your Start menu and select Accessories. Select Calculator. You’ll see a tool bar at the top of your tool. Go to Menu and select Scientific. It’s as easy as that!
In case you need a little bit more from a calculator, you have the option to download Calculator Plus from Microsoft Corporation for free. This tool has everything that the standard calculator offers, plus a little more. For instance, it can convert different measurements for area, volume, and temperature. Windows 2003 or later is required for the download.

The Windows Calculator and Caculator Plus both are missing support for negative exponents that any other scientific calculator will support
There is also another solution to that problem. Mate is a free online symbolic calculator found under http://www.tusanga.com . It lets you solve equations, plot graphs and calculate using intervals, complex numbers and sets.
There is another good scientific calculator available at http://onlinescientificcalculator.net
You don’t have to download anything, just use it live the site.
