About

Dozecal

This educational calculator promotes the use of Base Twelve (duodecimal) in math and science. It offers standard mathematical functions in both duodecimal and decimal modes, with automatic conversion between them. It utilizes Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) for calculations.

Highlights
  • Duodecimal and Decimal modes
  • Automatic mode conversion
  • RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) input
  • Standard math functions
  • Trigonometric operations (degrees)
  • Educational tool for Base Twelve

Dozecal is an educational RPN* calculator to promote the use of Base Twelve in math and science. The usual math functions are available in both DUODECIMAL and DECIMAL modes. Conversion is automatically made when switching from one mode to the other one. Trigonometric operations uses DEGREE as unit of measure. For more information about Base 12, please visit the Dozenal Society of America. * RPN : the Dozecalc calculator uses the Reverse Polish Notation (RPN). This notation seems complex but has many advantages over algebraic notation and is more intuitive once you have understood the idea. The calculator has a stack and any operation that requires two numbers is using the bottom stack layers (X and Y). Key ENTER to push the stack up and separate one number from the next. To perform arithmetic, key in the first number, press ENTER to separate the first number from the second, then key in the second number and then select and operator such as the numerical functions +, -, * or /. The result appears immediately after you press the numerical function key. The operator is keyed in only after both operands are in the stack. Example: calculate 3 + 4 Key sequence: 3 ENTER 4 + Result: 7 The result of any operation may itself become an operand. You do not need to press enter again to use the result. The "7" is already entered. Example: add 2 to the previous result Key sequence: 2 + Result: 9 Example: calculate 5 * (3 + 4) Key sequence: 3 ENTER 4 + 5 * Alternate key sequence: 5 ENTER 3 ENTER 4 + * Disclaimer: results and precision may occasionally be incorrect.

Command-Line Calculator (CLCalculator) provides the most fluid interface, especially if you are performing chained calculations i.e. multiple calculations that rely on the results of previous calculations. By providing a command-line interface, CLCalculator allows you to easily enter and view the history of your calculations. You focus on your calculations instead of being intimidated by myriad of buttons on a traditional calculator interface! In addition to performing basic calculations, CLCalculator provides an array of features such as: - Assign and reuse variables - Complex numbers - Number bases i.e. binary, octal, hexadecimal - Constants e.g. e, pi - String manipulation - Matrices - Unit conversion: in-built and user-defined (create your own units!) - Functions: in-built and user-defined (create your own functions!) - Arithmetic functions e.g. fraction, square root, rounding off, ceiling, floor, logarithm - Algebra functions e.g. derivative, simplify symbolic expressions, solve linear equations - Bitwise functions e.g. bitwise and, not, or, left and right shift - Combinatorics functions e.g. Bell, Catalan, Stirling numbers - Geometry functions - Logical functions e.g. and, not, or, xor - Probability functions e.g. combinations, permutations, factorial - Relational functions - Set functions e.g. cartesian product, intersection, union - Statistics functions e.g. mean, median, mode, standard deviation, variance - Trigonometry functions e.g. sin, cos, tan, cot, sinh, acos - and much more! The app also comes with a comprehensive in-built help system with plenty of examples. CLCalculator is powered by math.js (https://mathjs.org/)
