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.

Who invented pascal calculator?

well i think the native dinosaurs did as they cant really calculate theirselves

Do you like to use a calculator?

It keeps track of all the numbers. Instead of calculators that only show what you're doing, it'll show what you did. For example, a regular computer calculator doesn't show you what you punch in. After you punch in 463 + 1, the second you press another number, that first number goes away, so you have to get a better calculator, or recalculate.

With a scientific calculator, you get a ride variety of buttons to help with different types of equations, and you have (on most) the ability to go back and check your question, and the ability to manipulate past numbers/signs.

What is the difference between a computer and calculator when performing calculations?

In the math world, calculators perform operations one at a time, while computers can process a sequence of operations using provided instructions. A typical calculator requires many interactions to perform a computation, while a computer takes a set of instructions.

Since the advent of the information age, the term computer has been corrupted. It is most commonly used to refer to laptops and desktops, but can also describe any device with a digital processor and memory (such as a smart phone, a game console, or an MP3 player). These "computers" can perform mathematical computations, but are also used to process data (such as text, sound, and images) with logical operations. Strict mathematical computers lack this functionality.

Modern calculators, such as the TI-86, are implemented with calculator software that runs on "computer" hardware. These "computer" calculators only use their logic processing capabilities to present simple menus and dialogs to the user (unless special programs, like games, are installed and ran).

How do you use square roots on your TI 30X IIS?

How is the Leibniz calculator different from the modren calculator?

Leibniz's calculator could multiply and divide as well as add and subtract. The pascaline calculator could only add and subtract.

How much energy does a calculator need and if it is a solar powered calculator how much energy do the panels in the calculator generate?

The average solar calculator produces between 50 and 100 microwatts. A typical solar cell might produce 20 - 40 microamps at between 2 and 3V.

In practical terms, this is an incredibly small amount of electricity. You could easily generate that much electricity with a small hand generator.


Graphing calculators (which are never solar) use far more electricity (around 0.3 watts or 300,000 microwatts, which is aronud 4,000 times as much). This is why these calculators are never solar. To use solar cells they would need a solar panel 4,000 times bigger than the one on the non-graphing calculators, and that would be too big to fit on the calculator!

What exactly is a retirement calculator?

What is the difference between a programmable calculator and a computer?

Pretty much everything we use is a computer, whether they're programmable or not. game controllers have computers. smartphones are computers. monitors have computers in them. TVs also do. Cars have them. and of course, calculators are computers also.

Why was the slide rule invented?

The slide rule very much simplified calculations of multiplication and division, especially were a ratio was to be used over and over. Edmund Gunter had already invented the Gunter scale, but it was clumsy and required dividers (the things like compasses, but with two sharp ends instead of one sharp end and a piece of pencil lead) to use. William Oughtred realized that two Gunter scales facing each other made it unnecessary to use the dividers. That realization was the invention of the slide rule.

The slide rule was developed to perform multiplication and division before calculators had been invented. a addition and subtraction

What types of calculators have a graph maker included?

Graphing Calculators such as those created by Texas Instruments have graph maker features as a core function of the device. Children in High Schools across North America have used graphing calculators in their course work.

Can you charge a ti-83 calculator?

How do you reset your graphing calculator?

-- There may be a small hole in the back of the calculator labeled "reset". If so,

the calculator may be reset by carefully inserting the end of a straightened

paper-clip a slight distance into the hole, and pressing the tiny switch located

just inside the hole.

-- If such a reset switch is not provided, then the calculator is reset by momentarily

disconnecting the battery.

What are the advantages and disadvantage of using the calculator?

Advantages: * They make it easier to do math problems. * You don't have to go back and check because they're reliable. Disadvantages: * People are becoming more and more reliant on them. As a result, they can't do as much math in their head. * Students are getting lazier and just use their calculators instead of doing it the old fashioned way.

How do you do fractions on a ti-83?

Put in your fraction (ex. 1/2+1/2)(use the divided by symbol for it) then add, subtract, or whatever. Then push the MATH button (underneath the ALPHA green button) hit enter then hit enter again and there is your answer. ex. 1/2+1/2>frac=1

How do you write text on a graph of a ti-83?

How do you solve multiplication problems with decimals without a calculator?

If you can do multiplication of two integers without a calculator, then you can multiple an integer (a whole number) with a floating-point number (a number with decimals) without a calculator too.

For example, let us say you want (2.56 * 5).

2.56 * 5

= 2.56 * 5 /1 (I am not changing any value)

= 256 * 5 /100 (I am multiplying the numerator and denominator by 100)

= 1280 /100 (do my multiplication of two integers, 256 and 5)

= 12.8 (do the division)

Note that I am doing the process in the long-hand for illustration purpose. You can take short-cuts once you are comfortable with the process. For example, I shall go straight to multiplying 256 with 5 (ignoring the decimal point; it is like moving the decimal point two places to the right), get the answer, and then move the decimal point two places to the left to return the decimal point to the right location.
