Scientific Calculator — Free Online with sin, cos, log
A proper scientific calculator in your browser — trigonometry, logarithms, powers and pi, all computed locally.
Functions in radians: sin(1.5708) ≈ 1. Use deg conversions like sin(30×3.14159÷180) for degrees, or type sin(0.5236) for sin(30°).
How to use this tool
- Type an expression or use the function buttons to insert sin, cos, log and friends.
- Press = (or Enter). Angles are in radians.
- Press a function button while your cursor is placed to insert exactly there.
Example
sqrt(2) + ln(2.718281828) → 1.4142 + 1 ≈ 2.4142. For degrees: sin(30°) = sin(0.5236 rad) ≈ 0.5.The formula
What the result means
This is real floating-point math with standard library functions — the same results a handheld calculator gives, including the radian convention for trigonometry. Angles in mathematics and physics default to radians; degrees are a convenience of daily life.
Frequently asked questions
Why radians and not degrees?
Radians are the natural unit of mathematics — derivatives and series only work cleanly in radians. Multiply your degrees by π/180 (or 0.01745) before feeding trig functions.
What is the difference between log and ln?
log is base-10 (log(100) = 2), ln is natural base-e (ln(e) = 1). Chemistry uses both; spreadsheets call them LOG10 and LN.
Can I use it for exams?
Use it to check your work — most exams want the method shown, and this tool deliberately shows you only the answer. Learning happens in the steps.
Is my input recorded?
No — evaluation happens locally in your browser.
