CalculationLaboratory

One can employ this tool to perform highly customized mathematical computations. The application is built around a very simple and efficiency-geared layout that maximizes accessibility. In essence, all navigation is performed via a few on-screen buttons, although menu items are also present. The “Scripts” frame is large and controls the code lines compiled by the calculator. An informative fixed-size graphic is generated based on the results returned after the script is run.

It should be stated from the onset that CalculationLaboratory is unsuitable for simple and quick mathematical operations. Although one could create a script to compute rudimentary summations and divisions between simple numbers, the real power behind this application is the ability to work with functions, variables and very large numbers.

Users who seek a simple calculator for day-to-day simple operations are well-advised to opt for another tool. This being said, the tool is excellent for compiling complex mathematical scripts. It can be a valuable tool for scientists or engineers and anyone else involved with custom functions. It can also be a very good educational utility, as it allows students to trace all the steps from building a script to displaying an actual graph.

CalculationLaboratory features its very own programming language, which should be accessible to most users. The comprehensive help system features detailed functions descriptions and should be the first tool employed to clear any issues. If that fails, the software comes with multiple samples to help users get accustomed to the custom scripts.

One of the great functions of this program is the “Graphs builder”. This generates simple Cartesian graphs based on the scripts results. Zoom in and out functions are available and a cross-hair cursor allows users to obtain X/Y coordinates for any loci.

All things considered, CalculationLaboratory can be a highly useful tool for anyone skilled in scripting and Mathematics.
