Chapter One

The document summarizes a project to create a simple scientific calculator application. The goals are to allow users to perform basic arithmetic and scientific calculations on their computer without a physical calculator. It will include functions like trigonometric functions and floating point arithmetic. The application is being designed with Java, which the creator is still learning, and there was some difficulty deciding which exact functions to include. It will provide a useful tool for calculations in areas like physics, math, and business when a scientific calculator is not available.

CHAPTER ONE

PROJECT TITLE: SIMPLE SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR MINI PROJECT AGYEMANG KWAME BAFFOUR: 3946209 BUJU

INTRODUCTION: The project, a simplified version of a scientific calculator focuses on letting people perform scientific calculations as well as simple arithmetic calculations on their computers. It is a very convenient application to use when a user does not have physical access to a scientific calculator. It incorporates most of functions of the scientific calculator such as trigonometric functions, floating point arithmetic, etc. and therefore performs most of the basic functions of a scientific calculator. It also has a user friendly interface which would make it very easy to use. This calculator is however not an alternative for the scientific calculator since it doesnt perform all functions of a scientific calculator. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: -To allow people perform scientific calculations. -To allow people perform normal arithmetic operations. -To allow people to solve simultaneous and quadratic equations, do number base conversions, find square roots, etc. -To make calculations easy due to its easy to use interface. -To enable people perform scientific calculations on their computers when there is no access to a scientific calculator. DESIGN: The calculator project is being designed with the Java programming language.

APPLICATION AREAS: The calculator can be applied in the areas of: - Everyday arithmetic -Physics -Mathematics -Business calculations MAJOR CHALLENGES: This calculator project is being done in java. I however have very little knowledge of the java language and I am therefore learning the language in order to improve my command over it and complete the project. There was also some difficulty in deciding which functions to incorporate in the design of the calculator. FIRMING UP THE SOLUTION: This calculator is very useful and can perform most basic functions of a scientific calculator.
