Calculators

Ive recently made a polynomial calculator (a polynomial is any series of numbers of x with various coefficients and powers) and I was wondering whether there were any other kinds of calulators that I could make, they will be on my other account Dave911-Maths.

PS. I have already tried to make a square root but it is either unsuccessful or just plain slow so no calculators that require sqaure roots!

Re: Calculators

What about a calculator of body mass index that tells you if you have a healthy weight or not? It's very simple but I haven't seen it in Scratch  smile

Re: Calculators

If you want to see one easy way to do square root, you can look at the code for my RPN calculator: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/kevin_karplus/2164

Please put your polynomial calculator (and any other calculators you make) into the Math Projects gallery:
