Scientific Calculator FAQ
How do I switch between degrees and radians?
Use the DEG/RAD buttons to switch angle modes. Degrees are more common in everyday use, while radians are standard in calculus and advanced mathematics.
Can I chain multiple functions together?
Yes! You can create complex expressions like sin(π/2) + log(100) or e^(ln(x) + 1). Use parentheses to control the order of operations.
What's the difference between log and ln?
log() is the common logarithm (base 10), while ln() is the natural logarithm (base e). ln is more common in calculus and physics, while log is used in chemistry and engineering.
How precise are the calculations?
The calculator provides precision to 6 decimal places, which is sufficient for most educational and practical purposes. For research-level precision, specialized software may be needed.
