  2. Microsoft calculator standard bug

    The Windows calculator is not a scientific calculator. It is a calculator meant for everyday use by people who are not scientists. If it pleases you then you can call it a bug but in view of the fact that the calculator has been like this for the last 30
    years, your chances are slim that Microsoft will change its input mode from sequential to scientific.

    Windows 10 calculator Enter equals button doesn't work right

    My windows 10 calculator has a X and not a *.

    Where did you get your calculator?

    I got mine from All apps.

    Also what setting are you on? Standard, Scientific, Programmer, etc of the 17?

    The new Calculator does have the scientific option the same as the older version if that is the reason for the request.

    There is, however, a simple way to get the old style calculator and that is the Winaero Tweaker utility available here ... Winaero - Free small and useful software for Windows

    This app gives a simple way to change the look of "annoyances" in Windows 10 and is free - also if you wish you should be able to use the app to make you changes and then uninstall the app and the changes will remain, but I just keep a copy on all my systems for the more technical tweaks

    As Barman says, you can do everything using the Scientific mode of the standard Windows 10 Calculator.

    Or you can download the old Windows 7 calculator from http://www.softpedia.com/get/Science...lculator.shtml It has never caused me any problems on Windows 10,

  6. Relative to the old calculator, shown in another recent post, the new calculator does not have the following options: inv, int, x^2, dms, yth root of x, x^3, third root of x, scientific notation, exp

    I think that's ALL the app does. It does NOT add any apps that are not already part of Windows. It merely changes the APPEARANCE of some apps, and allows you to change some info, such as OEM. I'm sure these are useful features - but not what I'm looking for today.

    The app does give some LINKS for apps that you might want to add. For example, if you scroll to the end of the options, there's a section "Get Classic Apps". One of these apps is "Classic Calculator". But, it's just a link to a web page (which is how I eventually found the old calculator).

    Unless I misunderstood the question. What's wrong with the calculator that came installed with win 10 ? It has all options that you can think of:

    Try using it to find the nth root of a number - the cube root of 8, for example.

    Bree & OldGrantonian,

    The Win10 Calculator can find the nth root of a number. If Windows 10 was not an experimental, undocumented OS this information would have been put in its Help system.

    To find, for example, the cube root of 8 in the Scientific mode of the Windows 10 Calculator:-

    • Press 8
    • Press the Up arrow [between 1/x and Pi] and you'll see the alternative key labels appear

    • Press the y{root}x key
    • Press 3
    • Press =
    [The answer turns out to be 2]

  14. Great post Where is old Windows scientific calculator? :)

    That takes me back to the first HP-35 in 1972. It used Reversed Polish Notation. Very few companies produced RPN calculators after that. It took me 25 years to stop looking for the "Enter" button on other types of calculator (algebraic?). Pushing and popping on the stack made complex calcs very simple, so no parentheses were required. Cost $395. I didn't pay - RR paid.

    This post prompted me to look on the iPhone. I found an HP-35 simulator. Cost £1-99. Brilliant. It even has a "click" to emulate the keypress. It was the click that made the HP-35 feel like a Rolls Royce compared with its competitor from Texas Instruments.

    The User Manual is here:
    http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~sedwards/hp35colr.pdf

    Trivia: The User Manual taught me one of the most accurate approximations for "pi" that I've ever seen: 355/113

    The mnemonic is: 11 33 55. In other words, write 113. Then write 355 above that.

    Here is the quote from the User Manual regarding the accuracy: 355/113 approximates pi to within 8.47 millionths of one percent. (It makes 22/7 look pretty sad.)

    Thanks again for the HP-42S post Where is old Windows scientific calculator? :)

    I can remember a Mathematics teacher setting a project for us, his students to calculate Pi to an many places as we could - I think he expected a maximum of ten to fifteen places. Of course we had access to the school Manframe, and a mischievous nature *Devil - So we got the Mainframe to calculate Pi to one hundred decimal places and copied it out longhand and handed it in when due - I believe it took him several days to manually calculate to check we were correct *Eek

    These days High accuracy Pi figures are just a google away ...

    100,000 Digits of Pi

    Our mischievous antics did cause some problems like the time we removed all the fixing screws from the partition wall between two temporary classrooms *Zip or connected all the piping feeding the Bunsen burners in the Chem lab to the cold water main *092
