What is the Online Scientific Calculator?
The free Scientific Calculator Online handles advanced mathematical, algebraic, and scientific calculations in your web browser. It supports standard trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan) and their inverses, base-10 logarithms (log), natural logarithms (ln), powers (x^y), square roots, factorials (n!), and constants like π and e. Easily switch between Degrees (DEG) and Radians (RAD) and use parentheses for multi-step expressions.
With single-click switching between Degrees (DEG) and Radians (RAD) angle modes, full floating-point error mitigation, and integrated memory registers (MC, MR, M+, M−, MS), it handles high-level STEM coursework, physics simulations, and structural calculations with zero latency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between DEG and RAD modes?
DEG (Degrees) measures angles from 0° to 360°, while RAD (Radians) measures angles in terms of the circle radius (180° = π radians). Use DEG for basic geometry and RAD for calculus/physics.
How do I calculate inverse trigonometric functions (sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹, tan⁻¹)?
Click the INV (or Shift) toggle button to switch sin, cos, and tan into asin, acos, and atan to compute angles from known ratios.
What is the difference between log and ln?
The log button calculates the common logarithm (base 10), whereas ln calculates the natural logarithm (base e ≈ 2.71828).
How do I calculate powers and exponents (x^y)?
Enter the base number, press the x^y button, type the exponent power, and press equals (=) (e.g., 2 → x^y → 8 → = → 256).
How does the factorial (n!) button work?
Enter a positive integer and press n! to multiply all integers from 1 up to that number (e.g., entering 5 and pressing n! yields 120).
What precision are constants π and e calculated with?
Mathematical constants π and e are evaluated using standard IEEE-754 double-precision floating-point numbers (approx. 15–17 decimal digits).
Does this calculator follow mathematical order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS)?
Yes, equations with parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, and addition/subtraction are evaluated in strict mathematical order.
Can I enter scientific formulas using my keyboard?
Yes, you can type numbers, standard operators (+, -, *, /), parentheses, and use Enter to execute calculations directly from your keyboard.
How do memory registers work in this scientific calculator?
Store complex sub-results using MS, add/subtract with M+/M-, and recall values using MR into any subsequent formula.
Is this scientific calculator free on mobile phones?
Yes, it is 100% free with no registration, fully responsive across iPhone, iPad, and Android browsers.
Can I enter scientific notation for large or small numbers?
Yes, use the EXP button to enter numbers in scientific notation (e.g., 5 EXP 6 for 5 × 10⁶).
