Scientific Calculator

I've had a couple of reference requests to borrow a scientific calculator. Of course we don't have calculators at the ref desk, but did you know that every Windows computer has one?

Calculator

Once the calculator comes up, click on View, then Scientific. Voila! Use the number pad keys to calculate, or the mouse to click on the number buttons.

The calculator stays "on" until you close the window. Students (and I!) love it because you can copy and paste the results directly into other applications!
