Very roughly based on the HP-28/48 - series of calculators, its many features include: - - * Choice of algebraic or RPN (stack-based) entry of calculations. - - * Arbitrary precision integers and floating-point numbers. - - * Arithmetic on rational numbers, complex numbers (rectangular and - polar), error forms with standard deviations, open and closed - intervals, vectors and matrices, dates and times, infinities, - sets, quantities with units, and algebraic formulas. - - * Mathematical operations such as logarithms and trigonometric functions. - - * Programmer's features (bitwise operations, non-decimal numbers). - - * Financial functions such as future value and internal rate of return. - - * Number theoretical features such as prime factorization and - arithmetic modulo M for any M. - - * Algebraic manipulation features, including symbolic calculus. - - * Moving data to and from regular editing buffers. - - * "Embedded mode" for manipulating Calc formulas and data directly - inside any editing buffer. - - * Graphics using GNUPLOT, a versatile (and free) plotting program. - - * Easy programming using keyboard macros, algebraic formulas, - algebraic rewrite rules, or extended Emacs Lisp. - - -Calc is written entirely in Emacs Lisp, for maximum portability. - -I am anxious to hear about your experiences using Calc. Send mail to -"jay.p.belanger@gmail.com". A bug report is most useful if you include the -exact input and output that occurred, any modes in effect (such as the -current precision), and so on. If you find Calc is difficult to operate -in any way, or if you have other suggestions, don't hesitate to let me -know. If you find errors (including simple typos) in the manual, let -me know. Even if you find no bugs at all I would love to hear your -opinions. - - - -Summary of changes to "Calc" -------- -- ------- -- ---- - -For changes in Emacs 23.1 and later, see the main Emacs NEWS file. - -Version 2.1: - -* New matrix mode for square matrices. Improved handling of - non-commutative products. - -* New functions: powerexpand and ldiv. - -* Added new functions: sec, csc, cot, sech, csch, coth. - -* 0^0 now evaluates to 1. - -* Added a new language mode for LaTeX. - -* Calc now tries to use an appropriate language mode in embedded mode. - -* Calc now restores original modes when leaving embedded mode. - -* User settable variables which are not set with keystrokes are now - customizable. - -* Made ~/.calc.el the default Calc settings file. - -* Miscellaneous updates and bugfixes. - - -Version 2.02f: - - * Fixed a bug which broke `I', `H', `K' prefix keys in recent Emacs. - - * Fixed a bug in calc.texinfo which prevented "make tex2" from working. - - * Updated `C-y' (calc-yank) to understand Emacs 19 generalized kill ring. - - * Added a copy of "calccard.tex", the Calc quick reference card. - - -Version 2.02e: - - * Fixed an installation bug caused by recent changes to `write-region'. - - -Version 2.02d: - - * Fixed a minor installation problem with a Emacs 19.29 byte-compiler bug. - - * Removed archaic "macedit" package (superseded by "edmacro"). - - -Version 2.02c: - - * Patch to port Calc to Lucid Emacs 19; still works with GNU 18 and GNU 19. - - * Fixed a bug that broke `C-x C-c' after Calc graphics had been used. - - -Version 2.02b: - - * Minor patch to port Calc to GNU Emacs 19. Will be superseded by Calc 3.00. - - -Version 2.02: - - * Revamped the manual a bit; rearranged some sections. - - * Added marginal notes for Key/Function Index refs in printed manual. - - * Changed `M-# r' to deal more gracefully with blank lines. - - * Made reductions like `V R +' and `M-# :' considerably faster. - - * Improved parsing and display of cases like "[a + b]". - - * Added `t +' and `t -' for doing business date arithmetic. - - * Added "syntax tables," the opposite of compositions. - - * Added another Rewrites Tutorial exercise. - - * Added the "vmatches" function. - - * Added the `Modes' variable and `m g' command. - - * Improved `u s' to cancel, e.g., "11 mph hr / yd" to get a number. - - * Added "quick units" commands "u 0" through "u 9". - - * Moved `M-%' to calc.el to avoid autoloading problems. - - * Added `M-=' during algebraic entry, acts like `RET ='. - - * Made `LFD' prevent evaluation when finishing a calc-edit command. - - * Changed calc-store commands to use `t .' mode for trail display. - - * Improved integrator to understand forms involving "erf". - - * Fixed parser to make sense of "[1....1e2]" input. - - * Fixed FORTRAN parser to treat a(i,j) as a_i_j if a is declared matrix. - - * Got rid of some version number stamps to reduce size of patches. - - * Fixed a bug in defmath treating "<=" and ">=" predicates. - - * Fixed a bug in which Calc crashed multiplying two date forms. - - * Fixed a bug in line breaker that crashed for large, nested formulas. - - * Fixed a bug using ` to edit string("foo"). - - * Fixed a bug where `M-# y' in Big mode copied stack level number. - - * Fixed a bug where `g O' used wrong default directory, no completion. - - * Fixed a bug where "foo_bar(i)" parsed in C mode but showed as foo#bar. - - * Fixed several bugs where large calculations got "computation too long." - - -Version 2.01: - - * Added percentage commands `M-%', `b %', and `c %'. - - * Changed Big mode to force radix-10 in superscripts. - - * Improved display of fractions in various language modes. - - * Changed `a n' to work properly with equations and inequalities. - - * The problem with cross references to Index nodes in TeX has been fixed. - - * Fixed a bug where recursive esc-maps make calc-ext/-aent unloadable. - - * Fixed a bug in `M-# k', then `OFF' right away, with fresh Emacs. - - * Fixed a bug in which "S_i_j" was formatted wrong after `j s'. - - * Fixed a bug in which `h k u c' positioned cursor on wrong line. - - * Fixed a bug where `z ?' crashed if `z %' was defined. - - * Fixed a bug in `j O' (calc-select-once-maybe). - - * Fixed "make private" not to ask "Delete excess versions" and crash. - - -Version 2.00: - - * First complete posting of Calc since 1.01. - - * Most parts of Calc have seen changes since version 1.07.
