Need a good calculator program for my PDA

munka · 29th December 2005, 9:46 PM

My PDA is missing just one thing and i cant seem to find it online. I need a scientific calculator that I can enter things in as a single line of text and then have the result when i press OK. It should work very similar to how the input for many graphics calculators work. Im an engineer so do a lot of maths and even simple things can be a pain if you cant edit the line.

Also what other programs do people find useful for electrical engineering?

I don't have a pda personally, but in my elec eng course there is a few people that use pda's with emulators for the hp 48, 49 etc series of calculators ...

i just had a quick search, and came up with the link below

i have a palm and use EasyCalc (http://easycalc.sourceforge.net/) pretty much exclusively. It is similar to a cut down version of Matlab and works fantastically for any engineering work (final year Elect Eng student here). You can define your own functions, heaps of conversions, graphing, stats and heaps more.
Highly recommeneded
