Also commonly available from many companies are small printers made specifically for calculators which tend to use cash register tape paper, ports and cables for connecting the calculators to a computer and/or another calculator, cassette recorders for recording programs and data, overhead projector displays, and connectors for auxiliary ...
Qalculate! is an arbitrary precision cross-platform software calculator. [9] It supports complex mathematical operations and concepts such as derivation, integration, data plotting, and unit conversion. It is a free and open-source software released under GPL v2.
A simple arithmetic calculator was first included with Windows 1.0. [5]In Windows 3.0, a scientific mode was added, which included exponents and roots, logarithms, factorial-based functions, trigonometry (supports radian, degree and gradians angles), base conversions (2, 8, 10, 16), logic operations, statistical functions such as single variable statistics and linear regression.
HP 9815A. Chronologically, the models of the family were: HP 9810A, a keystroke programmable computer with magnetic cards and LED display, introduced in 1971, [1]; HP 9820A, introduced in 1972, was the first HP model that deals with algebraic input (not only RPN) [2] featured a high level language simpler than BASIC that was later named high performance language (HPL),
By 1970, a calculator could be made using just a few chips of low power consumption, allowing portable models powered from rechargeable batteries. The first handheld calculator was a 1967 prototype called Cal Tech, whose development was led by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments in a research project to produce a portable calculator. It could add ...
dc (desk calculator) is a cross-platform reverse-Polish calculator which supports arbitrary-precision arithmetic. [1] It was written by Lorinda Cherry and Robert Morris at Bell Labs. [2] It is one of the oldest Unix utilities, preceding even the invention of the C programming language. Like other utilities of that vintage, it has a powerful set ...
The Olivetti Programma 101, also known as Perottina or P101, is one of the first "all in one" commercial desktop programmable calculators, [1] [2] although not the first. [3] Produced by Italian manufacturer Olivetti , based in Ivrea , Piedmont , and invented by the Italian engineer Pier Giorgio Perotto , the P101 used many features of large ...
The Hewlett-Packard 9100A (HP 9100A) is an early programmable calculator [3] (or computer), first appearing in 1968. HP called it a desktop calculator because, as Bill Hewlett said, "If we had called it a computer, it would have been rejected by our customers' computer gurus because it didn't look like an IBM. We therefore decided to call it a ...
