Scientific Calculator

As its name makes it quite clear, Scientific Calculator is a piece of software capable of helping you perform complicated mathematical statements.

To begin with, it comes with support for real and complex numbers, polynomials, matrices, and vectors. It's also quite capable when it comes to simple functions, statistics, as well as linear equations.

If all this sounds good, then you can proceed and give this utility a try-out. It's worthy to note that it does not require any type of installation. All you need to do to run Scientific Calculator is download the package, unzip its archive and launch it via its designated executable file.

This and the fact that it's incredibly lightweight makes it ideal for portability purposes, on flash drives or even using cloud-based storage facilities.

Once launched, the first thing that stands out is the app's minimalist interface. Simply put, the app does not sport a typical UI, and it forces you to make use of your keyboard, as very few mouse-based inputs are supported.

Please note that you can cycle through all your previous inputs using the button from the middle-left side. There's also a right-click menu available, that allows you to open and save files, run scripts, as well as erase the memory and load libraries.

To keep things as simple as possible, Science Calculator evaluates any expression and displays the results in the bottom part of its main window. To clear the line, simply press ESC and keep in mind that unfeasible operations are highlighted using red. It's also important to point out that you can add multiple expressions, just as long as they're separated by ";"

As far as Scientific Calculator's true potential is concerned, we will let you experiment by yourself. We also recommend you start off by reading the thoroughly-documented user manual, available as a PDF within the app's archive.

Taking everything into account, it's quite clear that this Scientific Calculator is one of those low-key utilities that have great potential even though you might be tempted to think otherwise based solely on how it looks.

The lack of a more versatile UI might be an issue for some, while others will surely appreciate the compact package, the overall simplicity, the speed, and just how unobtrusive this calculator really is.
