GNOME Calculator
GNOME Calculator is an application that solves mathematical equations and is suitable as a default application in a Desktop environment.
GNOME Calculator is:
- A tool for calculating mathematical equations
- Uses standard mathematical notation where possible (so users do not have to learn the application when they already know maths)
- Easy enough to use for simple maths (add, subtract, multiply, divide)
- Powerful enough for mid-level mathematics (though not at the expense of being easy for simple mathematics)
- Fast to load and responsive to input
- Appropriately sized to fit into standard screen resolutions (e.g. netbooks)
- Fully accessible
- Well documented
- Integrated into the GNOME Desktop

You should now see the icon for the new calculator in the Education menu or menu that you selected.
The first time you run GNOME Calculator it will be in the Basic Mode.
However, you can click the drop-down arrow and change to Advanced Mode, Financial Mode, Programming Mode, or Keyboard Mode.
Basic mode allows you to perform the 4 basic operations. You can also get powers and square roots.
Here's a look of the Advanced Mode.
The Advanced calculator supports many operations, including: logarithms, factorials, trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, modulus division, complex numbers, random number generation, prime factorization and unit conversions.
Here's a look of the Financial Mode.
Financial mode supports several computations, including periodic interest rate, present and future value, double declining and straight line depreciation, and many others.
Here's a look of the Programming Mode.
Programming mode supports conversion between common bases (binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal), boolean algebra, one’s and two’s complementation, character to character code conversion, and more.
Here's a look of the Keyboard Mode.
Keyboard mode allows you to make conversions between quantities using the keyboard.
Views
- Basic – interface for basic arithmetic, resembling a desk calculator.
- Advanced – an interface with scientific functions, and support for custom variables.
- Financial – financial calculation and currency conversion.
- Programming – a view with bit manipulation operators and radix conversion.
- Keyboard – most of the space is taken up by the output, with no on-screen buttons. Supports currency and unit conversion.
