CalcPad

Pocket calculators are still remarkably common, as even the most advanced calculator app struggles to offer the same level of convenience. However, a desktop application does come with some advantages that are worth taking into consideration.

CalcPad is a mathematical and engineering calculator that works with input scripts and can display the output in HTML forms, while also allowing you to create input forms that only require users to enter a set of parameters.

The application supports both real and complex numbers, variables, physical units, functions of multiple arguments and graphing. It enables you to use conditions, cycles, content folding and smart rounding, as well as control output visibility.

Despite offering an extensive array of features, CalcPad is still quite easy to use. Helpful instructions are displayed in the main window when launching the program, and detailed documentation is also available.

To get started, simply enter the formulas in the “Code” panel, using the formatting guidelines outlined in the documentation. Once processed, the results will be displayed in the “Output” panel, formatted in HTML. You can either print them, save them or open them in MS Word.

Alternatively, you can use the script you have entered to create an input form. When this HTML form is opened, users will not see the script, and they only need to fill in the required parameters to get the results.

Overall, CalcPad is a great choice for professionals who need to perform a lot of repetitive operations and are looking to speed up the process, as well as teachers and students.

The application is also suitable for users who wish to include calculations and results in official documentation, as it enables you to export them to HTML forms that require no further processing.
