No need to rely on an abacus or fingers and toes once you have this free Calculator for Science Students in your toolbox. A variety of calculators, converters, references, and glossaries reside at your fingertips through this full-featured app.

This calculator launches a nicely designed, easy-to-use interface--slightly drab, but easy to comprehend. It offers a numeric keypad and buttons for performing a number of scientific calculations. Below the keypad are six tabs that provide access to a wide series of tools that will make a handy reference for science students and teachers. This application performed quickly and very well in our tests. We were very pleased with the number of tools and references it made available. (Semi-fuddy-duddies will be happy to see a list of metric prefixes you can never remember, and the conversion tools will help in translating U.S. measures to European--along with linear acceleration and angular acceleration for hip physicists and amateur astronomers.) Only a few tools require purchasing the fully registered version of the app (unfortunately, the quadratic calculator is one of them), and in all cases the price is very affordable.

Home schoolers will really appreciate this download--it's like a compact mathematics desk reference on your hard drive--but we recommend it for all users.

Publisher's description

This is a very useful calculator for students. The system is designed to quickly carry out calculations and find commonly used reference data. The system contains a scientific calculator that can also calculate molecular mass, and from this main calculator over 80 other calculators and science tools can be called. These include a triangle calculator, an area and volume calculator, a molar mass calculator, a % and proportion calculator, an event timer, a vector addition calculator, an angle converter and a gas laws calculator. Over 60 science equation calculators can be called to solve for any variable in the equation. The system contains over 500 compounds with their molecular formula and molecular mass, over 50 constants, over 100 symbols, sets of interactive periodic tables with over 20 properties for each element, and over 130 acronyms for computer hardware and software. Reference data tables can also be called for SI base units, derived quantities, Greek alphabet and Roman numerals, cations and anions, measuring devices, maths formula, number systems, atom structure, frequencies, polygons, logic operations etc.

The system has interactive flow charts for electrical units, mechanical units and compound nomenclature. A glossary system contains over 480 science terms with phonetics for each term. Over 300 different skin combinations are available. A note pad area keeps a record of calculated results. A text pad area can be used to develop a longer calculation before cutting and pasting into the calculator. Drop down lists can also be used to write information into the text pad area. A measurement converter has over 50 categories making it one of the most extensive available and also easiest to use. The calculator is designed for ease of use and will readily run from a USB.
