Calc
Calculus
Calculus (
Latin, calculus, a small stone used for counting) is a branch of mathematics that includes the study of
limits,
derivatives,
integrals, and
infinite series, and constitutes a major part of modern university education. Historically, it was sometimes referred to as "the calculus", but that usage is seldom seen today. Calculus has widespread applications in
science and
engineering and is used to solve complicated problems for which
algebra alone is insufficient. Calculus builds on
algebra,
trigonometry, and
analytic geometry and includes two major branches,
differential calculus and
integral calculus, that are related by the
fundamental theorem of calculus. In more advanced mathematics, calculus is usually called
analysis and is defined as the study of
functions.

daveg@synaptics.com. Calc runs as part of
GNU Emacs. You can use Calc as only a simple four-function calculator, but it also provides additional features including choice of algebraic or
RPN (
stack-based) entry, logarithms, trigonometric and financial functions,
arbitrary precision, complex numbers, vectors, matrices, dates, times, infinities, sets, algebraic simplification, differentiation, and integration.
