* nicely formatted (LaTeX) equation display. This avoids the need to count brackets to make sure the equation was entered correctly. Also includes LaTeX code generation.
* complex number support, in rectangular or polar form (e.g. `3 + 4i` or `1 angle 90`)
* variable storage (e.g. `123 -> x` then `3*x^2 - 4*x + 5 -> y`)
* units in equations, and conversion (e.g. `1 inch * 3 ft to cm^2` or `sqrt(60 acre) - 100 ft`)
* can enter input by button presses, typing, or copy/pasting. Button presses are all converted to plaintext input for easy copy/pasting.
* equation display is simplified upon pressing enter. This means that when entering an equation, it is usually possible to look only at the LaTeX display and not the plaintext input: but when pressing enter, it will look nice. Redundant brackets are removed, including those that are needed for plaintext input (e.g. `(a + b)/(c + d)` can become "a + b" on the numerator and "c + d" on the denominator without brackets).
* light/dark themes
* previous input history can be accessed and edited by pressing "up" or "down" buttons.
* previous inputs/vars/recently used units preserved when the app is closed
* standard scientific calculator features, such as:
* trigonometric functions: sin, cos, tan, arcsin, arccos, arctan
* base 10 and natural logarithmic functions: log (base 10), ln (base e)
* `e`, `pi` constants, and square root function
* scientific notation input (e.g. `1.23E6` is 1.23 times 10^6) ## Rankings - #1,192,698 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `net.alexbarry.calc_android.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [ACalc - Power In Calculus](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.calc) — 19 users - [ABCalc](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.alliedbits.abcalc) — 9 users - [AlphaCalc - Simple Calculator](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.linkedbyte.alphacalc) — 254 users - [ABCalc Plus](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.alliedbits.abcalcplus) — 1 users - [Complex Calculator Lite](https://chrome-stats.com/d/braun_home.net.complexcalculator.lite) — 265 users - [Complex Calculator Pro](https://chrome-stats.com/d/braun_home.net.complexcalculator.pro) — 11 users - [MyCalc](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.mydreams.mycalc) — 69 users - [Visual Calculator](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.windingo.visualcalculationeditor) — 11,243 users, 4.83 / 5 - [Scientific Calqon](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.calqon.scientific) — 3 users - [TechCalc+ Calculator](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.roamingsquirrel.android.calculator_plus) — 32,380 users, 4.84 / 5 - [TechCalc Scientific Calculator](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.roamingsquirrel.android.calculator) — 4,775,722 users, 4.62 / 5 - [Scientific Calculator: CalcApp](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.rahulprakash.calcapp) — 62 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/net.alexbarry.calc_android)
