Introduction How often have you been out and about and suddenly realised that you didn't have a scientific calculator with you? Well, okay, probably it doesn't happen all that much... but it did happen to me a few weeks ago. I was too far from home to go back for one, I didn't have access to a computer and the calculator on my phone is a very basic affair, so the only thing for it was to go out and buy one. However, I wasn't particularly keen to splash out a tenner or so on something I might rarely use again, so I had a poke around in the charity shops of the town I was in. My luck was in: ... more

The screen is of a ... more

The Fantastic Sharp Scientific Calculator 19/07/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages great added features including memory storage
Disadvantages not the most advanced calculator you can get

i am sure that most of you know what a calculator is and you have probably used one aswel. but not everyone will know what the difference is between the ones with the fancy names right? even thought i am meant to be telling you about the scientific calculator i think it is a lot easier to understand the difference if i first explain other types of calculators you can buy. there are many different types including the standard calculator, the printing calculator, the graphical calculator and of course the scientific calculator. so what is a calculator used for? a calculator is basicly to help ... more
