DreamCalc Scientific Graphing Calculator for Windows

User Reviews

• Good basic calc, but lacks some crucial feature

  PlayerMrNeyorMay 19, 2006

  Pros

  It is better that the basic Windows calculator, and it has some scientific caluator features, ie logarithms.

  Cons

  This is not a graphing calculator worth using. It is not as good a the Power Toys calculator of Windows XP Professional. I'm definitely not throwing any calculators in prefernce to this. My TI-83 has 20X the features not to mention being faster typing wise.

• A replacment for my TI-83+

  NickNotInUseOctober 22, 2005

  Pros

  Very useful calculator for Windows. Its easy to view all your previous equations, all nicely formated. Graphing is powerfull, with preset ranges that allow for easy data viewing, such as -2PI to 2PI. The skins are a nice touch, which gives the calc a unique appearance, one that is very similar to a handheld calc. The base-n, RPN modes, regression, data viewing, stat plotting, etc are all very professionaly implimented. The ability to solve polynomial's of any degree really makes this a useful application for students, as well as its multitude of other options. The inclusion of constants (planetary, chemisty, physics, etc) is very useful when dealing with equations presented in many science courses. Overall,20$ well spent! :)

  Pros

  Good at graphing

  Cons

  The interface is really bad.. I can't go back and see what past calculations are. Not really worth $20 :-(

• The best calculator you can have

  Dalibor JelinekApril 6, 2005

  Pros

  After a really long search I have decided to purchase this calculator as it is the best you can have. <p>The user interface is nice and clean. <p>It has much more functions than you would ever need. <p>The best for me are single-click conversions to HEX and BIN and the ability to logically separate the "thousands" in non-decimal formats. <p>It is worth noting that the author is very friendly and if you would find any missing function (unlikely), than just mail him and he would probably add it into the next release.

• Worth every penny

  _SigmaMarch 17, 2005

  Pros

  This is a very affordable graphing calculator able to do many operations such as statistical graphing, function graphing, solving unlimited length polynomials, complex numbers, mixed fractions, trig, regression, finance, etc. It looks great, and has many different skins, some of which resemble the TI-83+ graphing calculator. It can run in the system tray, ready for your instant need. It has yet to crash, contains no spyware, and virus free. Everything you would expect on a handheld calculator is here, and then some, including the usablility. 9.5/10

  Cons

  Slightly steep learning curve. Worth the time though. Other than that, there really is nothing bad about DC3

  Very well done... although looking at all of the 2nd key commands under the actual commands can almost be daunting. Can be customized to your tastes... very nice.
