What is a "scientific calculator"?
A scientific calculator is a type of calculator designed to perform more advanced mathematical functions than a basic calculator. In addition to simple operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, it can handle functions like square roots, trigonometry, logarithms, and powers. Scientific calculators are often used by students, scientists, engineers, and mathematicians for solving complex problems in fields like physics, chemistry, and mathematics. They typically have more buttons and features compared to standard calculators, allowing for a wide range of calculations.
