Computers are calculators too

 I am baffled by the people that require a stand alone cheap calculator when they already have a very accurate one in their computer. 

 

In Windows 7 you can access your calculator it by going to Start Menu - > Accessories -> Calculator.

The calculator can be opened also by typing calculator or just calc in the Start Menu search box.

 Modes

The calculator has 4 main modes with which you can do calculations:

·         The Standard Mode.

·         The Scientific Mode.

·         The Programming Mode.

·         The Statistics Mode.

Some of the New Features of the Windows Calculator:

Unit Conversions - Offers different conversions units (angle, pressure, volume, time etc.) and it is really simple to use.

To calculate unites of time, select the type of transformation (example: Time), the From unit measurement (like Hour), and the To measurement unit (like Second).

Date calculation –

For reasons ranging to contract periods to calculating vacation time, it is great to see it implemented into the program.

• You can subtract between two days from the calendar or you can personally add or remove days, years , etc from the date that was set.

Select the dates (from and to) to see the difference between them. Or one can also manually type a number of days, months (etc.) to subtract (or add) from a date and to see the final result.

This is done by clicking on the 'Calculate the difference between two dates' and selecting the second given option.

4.       Worksheets - These are options offered for real life calculations.

Examples are to calculate mortgage, vehicle lease or car gas mileage.
