How to Use Scientific Calculator and Math Basics
Trigonometry, logarithms, exponents, scientific notation — all scientific calculator functions fully explained.
Trigonometry and Logarithm Basics
Trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan) represent the relationship between angles and side ratios. In a right triangle: sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse, cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse, tanθ = opposite/adjacent. Radians to degrees: θ[rad] = θ[deg] × π/180.
Logarithms and Applications
log₁₀(x) is common log (base 10), ln(x) is natural log (base e ≈ 2.718). log(1000) = 3 means "10 to the 3rd power equals 1000". Logarithms are widely used in earthquake magnitude, sound decibels, and pH measurement.
Scientific Notation
Represent very large or small numbers as a × 10ⁿ. For example, speed of light 299,792,458 m/s = 2.998 × 10⁸ m/s; electron mass = 9.109 × 10⁻³¹ kg. Enter using the E button on calculators.

Scientific calculators include factorial (n!), permutation (nPr), and combination (nCr) functions. 5! = 5×4×3×2×1 = 120. Combination nCr = n! / (r! × (n-r)!) is a foundation of probability. For example, choosing 3 from 10 people: 10C3 = 120 ways.
Binary, Octal, Hex Conversion
Many scientific calculators support DEC, BIN, OCT, HEX mode switching — essential for programming and digital circuit design. For example: decimal 255 = binary 11111111 = hex FF.
