Windows 10 bloody calculator replacement!

[ali_asadzadeh]

The app does not have even 1/X in scientific mode , so I can not convert ns to MHz etc... easily! Do you recommend any better app for day to day use.

[TheAmmoniacal]

It does have 1/x, you just have to make the window larger. (also keep in mind that 1/x = x^-1)

(The basic calculator has 1/x at any window size, above the division symbol)

Thanks, Finally found it! But I totally do not like this app, do you suggest a better alternative, the colors and numbers also feels sad! also some more functionality like  regression analysis and graphing would be nice too if we could have in a freeware.

[TheAmmoniacal]

Never been a fan of those calculators either, but only because I'm indoctrinated in CAS /written notation.

[Fungus]

WTF is that? Is that an actual screenshot of an actual application? 

[TheAmmoniacal]

Yeah, that's the calculator options in Windows 10 (Modern UI calculator app), when the window has been resized to fit the options that includes 1/x

In scientific mode there is an upwards pointing arrow. Its in the bottom left corner in the picture above.

That acts like Shift and shows the second function for the keys and 1/x is one of those.

One learns something new every day, eh

I hope so mate, cos when that stops its all downhill from there.

Found calc pro HD, some portions are free! the question is that do we have a free or open source equivalent app too?

[Messtechniker]

Or simply nick calc.exe from your old XP computer.
Should run stand alone.

Indeed, that looks horrible. Funny, Microsoft popularized flat design for UIs, but Apple seems to do a better job at it:

What about the W7 calc under W10?

I've installed and it seems to work fine.

I really don't like the Windows 10 calculator (W7 much nicer) and Microsoft also messed up the scientific calculator on Windows phone as well. It has so few scientific functions that I spent quite a while looking for the shift key to show the rest of them...it doesn't have one.

Speedcrunch (Windows, Mac and Linux) and SpeQ (Windows only) are worth a look if you want a reasonable powerful calculator.

On screen shift key for a desktop with a mouse  I really hope microsoft was having a giggle when they were putting this garbage together. 

On a desktop with a mouse (or other precision pointing device) and no touchscreen? How about you give me something optimized for my usage, instead of something for peoples fat fingers on a small touch screen. FFS

real man uses real calculator... get real! if you cant find a better one in the net, generation X

Am I the only one who has an overwhelming need to point out that the reciprocal of MHz is us... not nanoseconds

That's why I needed the calculator in the first place!

where by "real" you mean "RPN" of course

[rrinker]

 BTW most of the calculator functions have keyboard shortcuts. R for example is the 1/x (reciprocal) so there is no need to use the up arrow 'shift' to access much of the stuff, nor click your mouse on things.

All of Windows 10 is that way...most windows are huge and look god awful on a desktop, there are entire settings dialogs dedicated to allowing apps to access maps, sms, phone, etc. on a god damn desktop computer.  Microsoft never mastered the ability to have more than one desktop environment available, one that's optimized for touch screen mobile devices, and one that's optimized for a monitor/mouse/keyboard.  And instead of sticking a desktop OS on their mobile devices, they stuck a mobile OS on their desktops, like there was no third option...

inconvenience for on the fly arithmetic.   

[Pack34]

For a slight step-up, Microsoft Mathematics still works it's similar to a software version TI-89. Then just use wolfram alpha for graphing.
