It is a given that numbers are incorporated into our everyday lives. Our lives revolve around number since the day we were born. If there’s one electronic device that has enhanced the value of numbers more so than ever, it will be the calculator.
Eliminating tedious computations and complex math manipulations, it’s nearly impossible for us to imagine life in today’s modern world without calculators. However, with the sheer number of calculator options available, it can be challenging to determine which one to go for. The best way to approach it is to first understand the different types of calculators available in the market.
Types of Calculators
Basic Calculators
As its name suggests, a basic calculator has the ability to perform general-purpose calculations and basic math tasks such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division – sometimes, exponentiation and logarithm. These devices are found in almost every home and office.
Scientific Calculators
Scientific calculators are designed to ‘puzzle out’ complex problems in science, math, engineering and statistics. Beyond basic algebra equations, some of the scientific calculators even have the ability to execute computer algebra – making calculations more effortless than ever. Today, scientific calculators from brands like Casio and Sharp are owned by the majority of students and teachers in Singapore.
Financial Calculators
Albeit similar to scientific calculators, financial calculators are pre-programmed with plenty of business algorithms. It’s usually built with stand-alone keys – which are not found in other types of calculators.
