Scientific calculator

Use individual operations or a safe scientific expression with parentheses.

How this works

Single operations retain their original behavior. Expression mode applies conventional precedence, right-associative powers and parentheses. −2^2 means −(2²); use (−2)^2 to square a negative base.

Example

Using the example inputs, calculated value is 5.

Operation
Square root
x
25
y (used for powers)
2
Calculation mode
Single operation
Expression
sqrt(25) + 2^3
Expression angle unit
Degrees
Calculated value
5

Trigonometric inputs use degrees.

Scope and assumptions

Real numbers only. No variables, implicit multiplication, symbolic algebra, JavaScript execution or user-defined functions. Up to 500 characters, 200 tokens and 30 nested parentheses; expression angles are configurable, legacy single-operation angles remain degrees.
