Calcoo

Computers greatly evolved throughout the years, and are now capable of performing complex math operations in less than a second, which is a considerable advantage. Even Windows comes with a decent calculator, but there are also powerful third-party alternatives, and Calcoo is more than a suitable example here.

Before you can take advantage of all the application has to offer, it’s a good idea to make sure that your computer is fitted with Java Runtime Environment for everything to work. The visual design is simplistic, which makes it easy for individuals of all levels of experience to quickly get the hang of things.

The application supports both basic and scientific operators. There’s no option to toggle function visibility, and everything is in plain sight. Memory slots can be used to store values of interest, while dedicated functions help you copy and paste results. This latter item can be displayed in English, fixed, or scientific mode.

As mentioned, there are various operators at your disposal, among which you find sin, cos, tan, arc, power, square root, log, factorial, and more. You can insert several constants to help with your functions, such as Euler’s Number or Pi. Most functions can also be activated from the keyboard, so it’s a good idea to check out the help screen for corresponding hotkey commands.

Opening up the settings panel lets you define behavior and view options. Mode can be set to Algebraic or Reverse Polish Notation, number of digits to round output, as well as a few RPN dedicated options. You can define a complex custom to be inserted in your work at the press of a button.

All things considered, we can state that Calcoo is a reliable calculator which is sure to come in handy if you often have to deal with complex math operations. The interface is intuitive enough even though it shows all functions, and you can even define your own operation to insert when needed.
