If you're going to go that route you might want to pop up an OSX
terminal and do man on bc or dc which are arbitrary precision
calculators that work from a command line.

Hi there,
I gave up on built in calculators and now remotely connect on my Linux box to
use Qalc.
I am sure qalc can be installed on a Mac with no difficulties.
Qalc uses a command line interface.

It's called CalcMadeEasy Free and there's also the pro version. They're working
on the ios version and as soon as they're done, they'll provide accessiblity,
or moreso label the buttons.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for that one. Will be checking it in detail later this week.
I found another one with a note taking part where you can paste past
calculations or parts of it and plug it back into equations. The issue is that
all the buttons are unlabelled :) The devver was forthcoming in rectifying this
so good, but i need an immediate solution so your suggestion might stick once
i've understood the layout
Thanks again

I don't think the built-in calculator will do it. The only Deg button is just to switch
modes from degrees to radians. There are a jillion calculators in the app store so you
might want to take a poke through there. The LXVII calculator is one of those HP RPN
calculators which should do the trick. Every button has three additional functions
beyond its stated feature but on the 1 button there were R< and>P functions. If I
left VO focus on there for a few seconds it read the help text saying it was rectangular
to polar coordinates. On the third row of buttons are three unlabeled buttons which are
the f, g and h buttons (which also read in the help text if you wait). They activate the
secondary functions written in different colors. So the g button says it activates the
blue functions which VO-A actually says are turquoise, which would be the>P secondary
function on the 1 key. The f key activates the
yellow functions which VO actually reads as 'a shade of merliwood" or something
like that. So that would be the R< on the one key. I also noticed that it didn't
announce the values in the display at the top without my moving VO focus there so I set
up a hotspot VO-shift-1 and then turned on monitoring of the hotspot VO-Command-shift-1.
Hope that makes some sense.

Hi All,
The mac os calculator either has some serious performance problems and doesn't
have what i need or it's my perception that wants everything to be extra zippy,
and it does in fact have what i want. But the question i have needs
clairifcation before i endeavor for an alternative solution:
With the current default calculator, i have to do some tedious work before
getting results i want, ie for changing values from rectangular to polar forms
when doing complex numbers.
Normally there's a rec deg function available on all scientific calculators but
on this one, i have to manually enter the values which is a complete drag and
annoyance.
Can anyone please tell me if there is in fact a way to do this and i'm missing
out on something somewhere?
Best regards,
Yuma
