qalc
is pretty nice and it worksMay I recommend SpeedCrunch
You definitely may! I’ll have to check that out, it looks good!
Speedcrunch FTW. I use it all the time.
Ok that does look nice
I still have my analogue scientific calculator from the times when I had to take maths exams at uni
…Analog? Like an abacus?
I used the wrong word, I meant to say physical, as opposed to virtual
I use an emulated version of my old calculator. Once you get used to RPN, nothing else really seems fit for purpose.
Mmm… RPN my beloved 🤤
Did they make you yell “Eureka!” when you got the answer?
Nobody makes you. It’s just a natural response.
fun fact: the windows calculator is open source https://github.com/microsoft/calculator
bc
bc -l gang
I honestly run all my calculations in my app launcher when im on PC lol
Or whatever the android calculator is on mobile :3
Same. Not that I do advanced stuff, but KRunner is often good enough.
The pop!_os launcher for me, which does also have a calculator feature, which does everything I need :3
I like that they both use the same operator.
Holy shit I had no idea you could do this, what an awesome feature.
EDIT: You can even press 1 to bring the answer into the launcher search and do the next step of the operation or copy it if you want, bliss.
If you type a question mark in it actually shows what you can do: navigate folders, search for files, search recent files, do internet searches, calculator, run terminal commands, and of course just search for programs on the PC :3
Pretty much all Linux launchers do this nowadays
I use bc or calc on the Linux command line. Been doing it for 20 years now
I use python even for simple calculations
Julia for me. It has better mathematical syntax, especially if you happen to be doing anything with matrices, and theres no need to include a library for elementary functions.
I second this
kcalc 4 me
They really missed a trick naming that one
Calk was such an obvious choice…
cli version based
yes and with custom readline config (/etc/inputrc) you can use vim keybinds in it
I’m so sorry.
Can someone contribute to qalculate by organizing the manual? There’s so much mixed documentation in various places it took me 4 years to find the “where” operator of qalc
All my homies use casio fx, ti-CAS and/or Wolfram Alpha
I am not positive but I think raspberry pi is includes free Mathematica
To be 100% honest, I just open a terminal and use clisp. Or an RPN calculator when I’m on my phone (RPN Calculator)
I use python…
You can’t take my hp-49 from me and even if did I’d just emulate it on my phone or computer
