Linux RPN calculator
in [Slackware]

From: narke on 8 Jun 2010 12:14 Hi, I am looking for a good linux RPN calculator. It should has following features: 1. RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) 2. Decimal, Hexadecimal 3. Mathmatic functions: triangular, log, etc. 4. Normal and science mode (science mode shows 100 as 1.0 E02) 5. *prefer* to support complex operations. There is a windows program xcalc (http://www.tordivel.no/xcalc/) that is good enough but I've not yet found a linux one. Thanks for any information. -- Life is the only flaw in an otherwise perfect nonexistence -- Schopenhauer narke

I know *nothing* about calculators, but if you use Emacs, do you know about Emacs Calc? http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/calc.html Calc is an advanced calculator and mathematical tool that runs as part of the GNU Emacs environment. Very roughly based on the HP-28/48 series of calculators, its many features include: * Choice of algebraic or RPN (stack-based) entry of calculations. * Arbitrary precision integers and floating-point numbers. * Arithmetic on rational numbers, complex numbers (rectangular and polar), error forms with standard deviations, open and closed intervals, vectors and matrices, dates and times, infinities, sets, quantities with units, and algebraic formulas. * Mathematical operations such as logarithms and trigonometric functions. * Programmer's features (bitwise operations, non-decimal numbers). * Financial functions such as future value and internal rate of return. * Number theoretical features such as prime factorization and arithmetic modulo M for any M. * Algebraic manipulation features, including symbolic calculus. * Moving data to and from regular editing buffers. * "Embedded mode" for manipulating Calc formulas and data directly inside any editing buffer. * Graphics using GNUPLOT, a versatile (and free) plotting program. * Easy programming using keyboard macros, algebraic formulas, algebraic rewrite rules, or extended Emacs Lisp.

You could use DC, which is a fairly good command line calculator. You can also check out xcalc, which is built-in with most X Windows Systems. It has an RPN mode (-rpn). I can't say that I've spent much time with more sophisticated ones though. I actually prefer to have a desktop or handheld calculator, so I use HPs whenever I need a true calculator. Aaron W. Hsu
