What is a scientific calculator?

A scientific calculator is an advanced calculator that can perform mathematical operations beyond basic arithmetic, including trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan), logarithms, exponents, roots, and more. Our online scientific calculator also includes a programmer mode for binary, hexadecimal, and octal calculations.

How do I switch between degrees and radians?

In scientific mode, click the DEG/RAD button at the top of the calculator to toggle between degrees and radians for trigonometric calculations. The current mode is always displayed on the button.

What is programmer mode used for?

Programmer mode is designed for developers and computer scientists. It allows you to work with different number bases (binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal) and perform bitwise operations like AND, OR, XOR, NOT, and bit shifts. It's useful for low-level programming, debugging, and understanding how computers handle numbers.

Can I use keyboard shortcuts?

Yes! You can use your keyboard for faster input. Number keys (0-9) input digits, +, -, *, / for operations, Enter or = for equals, Escape for clear, Backspace to delete, and parentheses ( ) for grouping.

What are the memory functions (MC, MR, M+, M-, MS)?

Memory functions allow you to store and recall values: MC (Memory Clear) - clears memory, MR (Memory Recall) - displays stored value, M+ (Memory Add) - adds current value to memory, M- (Memory Subtract) - subtracts current value from memory, MS (Memory Store) - stores current value in memory.
