Scientific AdvantageScientific Advantage is a unique and powerful scientific calculator. It is Unit Aware to let you effortlessly compute with units - not just convert units. It also lets you work with feet-inch-fraction dimensional values, supports both algebraic and RPN entry modes, includes advanced math functions and automatic solvers, and much more.Scientific Advantage is available for your Pocket PC (2000 or later) and Windows computers.More about Scientific Advantage:Video Demonstrations- See Scientific Advantage in action in these short videosScreen Snapshots- Learn more about the features and interfaceFeaturesUnits and ConversionsEntry and display of special formats:Feet-inches-fraction (e.g., 24' 7-3/16")Inches-fraction (e.g., 287-5/8")Degrees-minutes-seconds (e.g., 52.9.8)Hours-minutes-seconds (e.g., 5:21:50)Minutes-seconds (e.g., 125:32)Fractions (e.g., 14-9/125, 32-1/2 kg)Binary, octal, and hexidecimal (e.g., 101101, 55, 2D)User-selectable inch fraction denominator (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 1000)Converts among and computes with over 200 different units (ft, m, lb, yd3, etc.), including both English/Imperial and SI/Metric unitsComputes directly with dimensional values (e.g., 70 lb/ft3 x 5 yd3= 9450 lb)Supports and converts among multiple bases: decimal (i.e., standard base 10), binary, octal, and hexidecimalCurrency conversions with update of exchange rates over the Internet. Supports 12 currencies.Keypads and Entry LogicAlgebraic and RPN entry modes (user selectable)Allows entry of feet-inches-fractions using the decimal key. For example, to enter 4' 3-21/32", you would press [4] [.] [3] [.] [2] [1]Allows entry of any denominator (after entering numerator, just press [.] to enter a new denominator)Dedicated buttons for picking the units that you use most often (you can assign the units that you want to these buttons)Mini-keypad for easy entry when working with SolversAdvanced Math FunctionsTriginometric - sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atanLogarithmic - log, ln, 10x, exPower - x2, square root, yxHyperbolic - sinh, cosh, tanh, asinh, acosh, atanhBessel functions - J0, J1, Y0, Y1, I0, I1, K0, K1Gamma functionError functionFactorialRandom numberAutomatic SolversCircleConeCubeCylinderRectangular BoxSphereStairsTriangle - ObliqueTriangle - RightStatistics CalculatorNumber of valuesMinimumMaximumRangeSumMeanGeometric meanMedianModeAverage absolute deviationSum of squares of deviationsVarianceStandard deviationPopulation variancePopulation standard deviationFinancial CalculationsTip CalculatorInvestment - Future ValueInvestment - Required One-timeInvestment - Required PeriodicLoan - GeneralLoan - Monthly PaymentsTimersDual stopwatches, each with unlimited lap timesDual countdown timersReferencesChemical element data shown in the periodic chart and listed in various groupings.
