The company I work for, gave me a MacBookPro with M1 chip, but I'm still new to Mac OS.

Could you please recommend/suggest me a free scientific calculator with history that can be installed on a company-controlled notebook OR at least something the IT department would not make too much fuss?

I've had a look at PCalc and Wolfram Alpha, which were suggested in this article, but I want something simpler that can be installed for free and not need internet connection ... something like the windows 10 calculator

Thank you!

It's not something I've ever really used myself, so I don't know its intimate details, but did you know you can swap the simple built-in calculator to Scientific [or Programmer] mode & add a paper tape emulation for history…

You can even save the 'paper tape' if you need.

  • Thank you! That's handy. But how do you keep on tape an operation with functions? E.g. you want to compute sine of 30 degrees; you click [pi][/][6][sin] and the calculator shows you 0.5 (if working with radians) but the tape shows you only pi/6

  • Sorry, I have no idea how it works. It's not a mode I've ever used.
