About the Scientific Calculator

This scientific calculator goes beyond the four basic operations to handle the functions you need for algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and science homework. It respects the standard order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), so expressions like 2 + 3 × 4 correctly return 14, not 20.

Functions Supported

  • Trigonometry: sin, cos, tan — switch between degrees and radians with the toggle.
  • Logarithms: log (base 10) and ln (natural log, base e).
  • Powers and roots: x^y for exponents and √ for square roots.
  • Constants: π (3.14159…) and e (2.71828…).
  • Percentage: the % operator converts a number to its decimal fraction.

Order of Operations

The calculator evaluates expressions using the standard precedence: parentheses first, then exponents, then multiplication and division, and finally addition and subtraction. When in doubt, add parentheses to make your intent explicit — for example, write (2 + 3) × 4 if you want the addition to happen first.

Degrees vs. Radians

Trigonometric functions can interpret angles in degrees or radians. Most everyday and geometry problems use degrees (a right angle is 90°), while calculus and physics often use radians (a right angle is π/2). Set the mode with the toggle above before calculating sin, cos, or tan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this scientific calculator free?

Yes. It is completely free, needs no signup, and runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere.

Does it follow order of operations?

Yes. It applies standard PEMDAS/BODMAS precedence, evaluating parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, and addition/subtraction in the correct order.

How do I switch between degrees and radians?

Use the Degrees/Radians toggle above the keypad. It changes how sin, cos, and tan interpret the angle you enter.

Can I use my keyboard?

Yes. Type digits, operators, decimal points, and parentheses directly, press Enter or = to evaluate, and Backspace to delete the last character.
