Online Calculator

The math calculator of old that simply multiplied, divided, added, and subtracted has taken a backseat to the contemporary graphing calculator. In short, a graphing or scientific calculator is designed to calculate more advanced quantitative problems from chemistry, physics, trigonometry, and other advanced subjects in the fields of science and math. While the original scientific calculators often cost upwards of $90 a piece, there are now many a graphing calculator free online in addition to apps. You can now easily search, “online graphing calculator free”, “graphing calculator online free” or “scientific calculator free” and find something to suit your needs. A free scientific calculator or graphing calculator app can save you both time and money since you won’t have to calculate your solutions the old fashioned way.

However, not every scientific calculator online is made equally. While it might be enticing to instantly search “online scientific calculator free” and then click and use any free online scientific calculator you land on, it’s important to keep a few factors in mind. The functions you need in a free online graphing calculator should be considered. This will change if your free scientific calculator has the right formulas and functions that allow you to do your work. Additionally, you need to check with an actual graphing calculator, from a friend maybe, whether the scientific graphing calculator online is really accurate or not.

CoolMath.com provides not only an online scientific graphing calculator but explains thoroughly how to use it to calculate your problems.

For the more app savvy, there are also plenty of scientific and graphing calculator apps to choose from. A great scientific calculator app is the Free Graphing Calculator from Apple with a similar product the Graphing Calculator by Mathlab on Android. Mathlab also makes a fraction calculator app. All listed apps generally had positive reviews and may be more convenient to use on-the-go than online graphing and fraction calculators. The only problem with Apple’s app is that it needs to include a function where users can search a point on the x or y axes. Likewise, the problem with the Android app is that the combinations and permutations don’t work. Other than these difficulties, most users tend to concur that these free apps served their purposes well.
