Mathematical aid

[Uclock]

Hi all,

During my research of a ATM theory of relativity, I happen to come across a wonderful little tool. It is a PC calculator that is accurate to 80sf and I have found it very useful checking my less accurate math programme.

It is completely free and has only to be downloaded to your PC. I can recommend it to any of you that work with mathematics.

The site where you can download the Console calculator is http://ccalc.shanebweb.com/

I hope it is of use to some of you.

there is also google's calculator. Just type log3*sin32 for example and click on search.

Usually in this, the Questions and Answers Forum, one starts a topic by asking a question, not by providing an answer to a question that hasn't been asked.

Also sometimes handy is UBasic, a version of BASIC with 2600 digit precision.

Well heres a query.

It doesnt seem to be able to deal with imaginary numbers.

Actually thats more of a statement, but if anyone knows if it can use imaginary numbers could they tell me?

cheers.

it also doesnt seem to have an assigned value of e.
Doesnt seem to be very usefull.

You're not talking about UBasic, are you? Surely not. Ubasic has all that and more. e is #e, and it will give you that number up to over 2600 digits. pi is #pi. And it is specifically designed to handle complex (imaginary) numbers as well.

No grav, i was talking about Console Calculator as per the original post.

I just typed "what is (1 +i)(1-2i)" into google and it answered 3 - i

O, O, I asked "what is the square root of (2i) and it answered 1 + i

Well, that's convenient. And it works for pi and e, too. All the way up to e^709. Is it common knowledge that one can do that with Google?

No. No it was not. But it's way cool to know.
