About This Project

The Scientific Calculator is a feature-rich browser application built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that delivers a professional-grade calculation experience. It leverages MathQuill for an intuitive editable math input area and Math.js for reliable expression evaluation, enabling users to type formulas naturally rather than clicking buttons. The calculator supports extensive scientific operations including trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential, power, factorial, percentage, and root functions. Users can switch between degree and radian modes for trigonometric calculations, manage input changes with undo/redo controls, and review past calculations through a persistent history panel. The application features a sleek dark calculator theme with a light/dark page mode toggle, ensuring comfortable use in any environment, and includes responsive design for seamless use across all screen sizes.

Highlighted Features

  • Editable math input area powered by MathQuill for formula-style typing experience
  • Comprehensive scientific keypad with trigonometric (sin, cos, tan) and inverse functions
  • Logarithmic functions (log, ln) and exponential operations (e^x, power, root)
  • Advanced operations: factorial, percentage calculations, and multi-root support
  • Degree and radian mode switching for accurate trigonometric calculations
  • Undo and redo controls for easy input correction and quick editing
  • Calculation history saved in localStorage with persistent display in history panel
  • Clear and backspace-style input controls for efficient editing workflows
  • Light/dark theme toggle for comfortable use in any lighting condition
  • Fully responsive layout that adapts seamlessly to smaller screens and mobile devices
  • Real-time expression evaluation using Math.js for accurate results
