Advanced Calculations with the Scientific Calculator
Beyond basic arithmetic, scientific and mathematical work often requires more complex functions. This online Scientific Calculator provides access to trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent), logarithms (natural log, base-10 log), exponentiation, roots, factorials, and important mathematical constants like Pi (π) and Euler's number (e).
Key Functions
- Basic Operations:** +, -, ×, ÷
- Trigonometry:** sin, cos, tan (and inverse functions like asin, acos, atan often accessed via an "Inv" or "Shift" button). Ensure Radian/Degree mode is set correctly.
- Logarithms:** ln (natural log), log (base-10 log).
- Exponents & Roots:** xy (power), √ (square root). Inverse functions might provide cube roots or other powers/roots.
- Factorial:** n! (product of integers from 1 to n).
- Constants:** π, e.
- Memory Functions:** (Not shown in this basic template) MC, MR, M+, M- for storing/recalling numbers.
- Other:** Parentheses (), percentage %, change sign (+/-).
Implementation Note
Creating a fully featured scientific calculator with correct order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) and handling of complex inputs entirely in JavaScript requires significant effort and careful parsing of the input expression. Libraries like `math.js` can greatly simplify this process. The JavaScript placeholder for this tool will be very basic, demonstrating structure rather than full calculation logic.
