Calculators

A calculator is a hand-held inexpensive electronic device used to perform the operations of arithmetic. The simplest calculators can only do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, while scientific calculators can handle exponential operations, and trigonometric and logarithmic functions.

What is an Einstein calculator?

The Einstein Calculator is a calculator made by Albert Einstein. I have no clue what its about. Probably a normal calculator. I see u chase d! Desiree s. :)

Which graphing calculator is Better TI or Casio Also which model best for college math?

Texas Instruments graphing calculators are really easy to use and there are a lot of applications and programs available for the TI graphing calculator platforms (TI-83+ family, TI-84+, TI-Nspire, and TI-89 family). Thus, you will be able to easily find a program for your specific class (Calculus, physics, chemistry, etc.) at Texas Instruments app store and also open source program repositories like ticalc.org.

The TI calculators also are the most commonly used in the more advanced mathematics courses, including Calculus I,II,III, differential equations, etc. because they have all of the features and functions one would need in a easy to use, user-friendly interface.

* Also, if you are interested, you can download a software package for your TI graphing calculator to help you improve your score on the SAT test at www.calc-tech.com . It's called the SAT Operating System (SAT_OS) and can be used during the actual test to reduce time on math problems and improve the accuracy of your calculations.

When using a calculator to find the square root of a number what is the correct sequence of steps?

Assuming you have a scientific calculator which has a square root button ([√]) the method depends upon which calculator you have, and in what mode the calculator is set.

The most recent Casio calculators have two modes of entry: MathIO and LineIO. InMathIO the sequence is:

[√] [<expression>] [=]

In LineIO, if the <expression> is more than one number brackets needs to be entered:

[√] [(] [<expression>] [)] [=]

This LineIO type of entry is used on the older Casio calculators. With older models of Casio calculators, and other manufacturers the functions work on the displayed value which is replaced by the value if the function. With these calculators, the expression is entered first and then the square root key is pressed:

[(] [<expression> [)] [√]

parentheses are only needed if the square root is of an expression.

Examples:

Square root of 16

MathIO: [√] [1] [6] [=]

LineIO: [√] [1] [6] [=]

Other: [1] [6] [√]

Using Pythagoras to find the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle with sides 3 and 4:

MathIO: [√] [3] [x²] [+] [4] [x²] [=]

LineIO: [√] [(] [3] [x²] [+] [4] [x²] [)] [=]

Other:[(] [3] [x²] [+] [4] [x²] [)] [√]

With MathIO the square root symbol extends over the expression as each key is pressed which is why the parentheses are not needed in the last example.

Why numbers are in reverse order in calculator?

because before calculater we used abacus.In abacus we learnt in reverse order

How do you find the percent of something on a calculator?

You type the number in then percent it by the number you want

How do i calculate the Volume of water a cylinder shaped vessel will hold?

To find the Volume: (1) find the flat area (A = Pi*R²), (2) multiply the Area by the Depth/Height (V = AD). To find how much water the vessel will hold: water = 231 cu inches per gallon, or 7.481 gal per cu ft.

How do you find the nth root of a number?

You seem to be unaware of the fact that you can obtain the answer easily by using the scientific calculator that comes as part of your computer. In general the nth root is extremely difficult to find.

Is a computer faster than a calculator when performing calculations?

Yes, a calculator is a very simple computer. Since Personal Computers use faster processors, they can calculate faster.

How do you find a 5 number summary on a graphing calculator?

First, create your list of numbers by typing: {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} hit 'STO>' button, which means "store as"

then name your list, something like 'L1'

and HIT ENTER to store

Now, hit STAT / CALC / 1-VAR STATS <Enter List name>...

and then scroll down until you see:

n = 10

minX = 1

Q1= 3

Med= 5.5

Q3= 8

maxX= 10

What is the use of a calculator?

It is used to make numerical calculations.

Is there a standard deviation button on a calculator?

Yes, you can process it on a TI-83 or higher, your calculator can compute it for you. To do it your problem must include a list of data points. To enter the data on your calculator, push STAT. Then go to EDIT. In edit there is a chart. The top row says L1, L2, etc. If there are already values in your lists, you can clear them by going up and highlighting L1, press clear, and then the down arrow. That will clear the list. To enter data, move to the rectangular box under L1. Type in your first value and press enter. Continue to do so until all values are entered under list one. Next, press STAT. Move over to CALC and select 1-Var Stats. Press enter. A buch of data will pop up. The symbol on your calculator for standard deviation is Sx, and there will be a value listed. That is the standard deviation for your data set. Some other things that are good to know with the info we have produced: _ X = mean/average of data n = number of data points minX = minimum x value Q1= quartile 1 Med = median Q3 = quartile 3 maxX = maximum x value Sx = Standard Deviation And a Q looking thing and a X is (Population Standard deviation) "Qx"

How do you solve an equation that uses spherical trigonometry without a calculator?

Before calculators, trig functions in general were evaluated using a slide rule (fast, but accurate to only 2-3 significant digits, and interpolation tables, which required interpolating between values in a printed table of function values to get up to 3-4 significant digits. Tricks were a big part of the repertoire - for example for small angles of less than about 7 degrees, sin and tangent are equal to the angle in radians.

Spherical geometry was fairly labor intensive, to say the least, since several trig functions are used for even simple distance and angle calculations. Special tables were printed for common cases, such as plotting great circle distances and bearings for terrestrial navigation.

In a desert island setting, given infinite time and desire, trig functions can be calculated using various converging series, with the Taylor series being a commonly taught (though slow!) example.

Disadvantages of calculators?

The disadvantages of calculators is that they are no longer practical or convenient. Unless scientific in nature, most people use the calculators on their smart phones and wireless devices. While stand alone calculators are still in use, their popularity has immensely decreased across the nation.

Scientific calculators were invented in which year?

I don't know an exact year, but handheld calculators first appeared about 1973.

Desktops were several years earlier.
