Engineering and student calculator for Mac, Windows and Linux
Written on by Ratio.
Homework and lab sums with the units kept: volts and ohms give amps, grams of a compound give moles, and a matrix gives its inverse.

Questions
Does it know the resistor colour code? Yes, both ways: “brown black red gold” gives 1 kΩ ±5%, and “4.7k in colors” gives yellow violet red. Four- and five-band codes work.
How do I add resistors in parallel? Write || between them: “10k || 4.7k”. Units are kept, so “10 kohm || 4.7 kohm” answers in kΩ.
Can it do matrices? Determinant, inverse, transpose, trace and products of matrices written as [[1, 2], [3, 4]], plus dot and cross products of vectors.
