Clax

The computer is a pretty powerful multifunctional tool, which means it can process math expressions much faster and better than we do. Developers came out with quite the variety of calculators to help you in times of need. For instance, Clax offers different instruments to solve math expressions, convert units, and a couple more.

The setup process keeps you busy only for a little while, but to be able to enjoy what the application has to offer, you need to be sure that your computer is fitted with .NET Framework. Although packed in an installer, you can also deploy it on a thumb drive, because it doesn’t bind itself to your system, and registry entries are not affected.

A main window shows up on launch, letting you choose the type of calculator to bring up. You can choose from a regular calculator, unit conversion, statistics, as well as date calculation. On the bright side of things, each comes in its own window, and the main menu remains active at the same time, but you can’t have more calculators of the same type on the screen.

Don’t be fooled by the rather awkward choice of functions and layout. There’s no numeric keypad for input, nor any operators, but a couple of fields for input and result. You need to manually write down the expression of interest, which isn’t limited to a single operator. There’s also a rich help manual to provide thorough info on function support.

Unit conversion is structured in several panes to handle angle and energy, area and weight, length, power, pressure, and volume, temperature and velocity, as well as time. There’s also an individual calculator related to time which handles months and years. All calculators rely on the same style of input.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Clax is a powerful calculator which can solve a great variety of expressions. It contains an impressive set of functions, and even though input style is not like your average calculator, you’re sure to make the most of what it has to offer.
