Using scientific functions correctly

This calculator supports common arithmetic, powers, roots, logarithms, factorials, and trigonometric operations. Check whether an angle is being interpreted in degrees or radians before evaluating sine, cosine, or tangent.

Order of operations

Parentheses help make an expression unambiguous. For example, √(9 + 16) equals 5, while √9 + 16 equals 19. Use the displayed expression and calculation history to check that operations were entered in the intended order.

Precision and domain limits

Results use JavaScript floating-point arithmetic, so very large values and some decimals can have rounding differences. Logarithms of non-positive values, square roots of negative real numbers, division by zero, and tangent at undefined angles do not produce ordinary real-number results.

Angles, precedence and numerical limits

Trigonometric results depend on whether the angle mode is degrees or radians. Standard mathematical precedence evaluates parentheses and functions before powers, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction. Use explicit parentheses whenever an expression could be read in more than one way.

Many displayed decimals are rounded approximations because computers represent numbers with finite precision. Very large factorials, extreme powers and expressions near a discontinuity can overflow or lose precision. Keep the original expression, check the selected mode, and verify important scientific or engineering results with an appropriate domain tool and stated precision requirements.
