Overview

With the program SC-103PC (successor of the SC-102P) you get a powerful and freely available scientific calculator for the Palm platform. Apart from scientific functions it also offers a full set of logical operations and conversions between different numeric systems (HEX, DEC, OCT, BIN). Furthermore the Calculator offers a currency mode for easy currency conversions and calculations with mixed currency units. The program is designed in a way, that it simulates the visual and operational aspects of a true calculator, such that the user will be immediately familiar with its interface.

The calculator program automatically adapts to single and multi color devices. High resolution displays of SONY Clié devices and devices with Palm Operating System 5 and higher are automatically detected and supported.

Available in three different languages: English, German and Esperanto.
