Precise Math : A basic math calculator to help you add, subtract, multiply, and divide, with an intuitive layout, and fresh visual design which makes it easy to use
Let’s face it, math is far from being among the easy subjects in school. However, it’s behind quite the variety of activities, including programming. Simple operations can also help with budget management, and in this regard, Precise Math comes as a powerful, good-looking calculator for you to use.
Visually appealing, and easy to use
First of all, your computer needs to be equipped with .NET Framework for the application to work, but modern Windows iterations come with it as a default feature. You only get to spend little time, and effort in the setup process, so you can check it out in a short while.The application sports a pretty minimalistic design, much like the Windows 10 “flat” tiles layout. This makes all elements easy to use, and identify, while the large buttons make it suitable for touch supported screens. The only downside is the main window always stays in the center of the screen, with no possibility to resize, or move it.
Only basic math operations supported
Most of the space is used to house numerical values, much like they’re organized on your keyboard’s numpad. Supported operations are also found there, while the upper space is where all input values are shown, and the result too.Unfortunately, you can only perform basic math operations, like add, subtract, multiply, or divide, so there’s no scientific component like the Windows calculator provides. Furthermore, keyboard input is only supported if you select the result field.Letters can also be written in the input field, but this only results in error, so you need to be careful. Operation history isn’t tracked, and exporting results needs to be done through the copy and paste function, because there’s no dedicated option in this regard.
In conclusion
Bottom line is that calculus of large numbers is best performed with a calculator like Precise Math. However, it’s only packed with basic operations, so alternatives are required for advanced expressions. Although it’s visually appealing, the overall impression is rather poor, because of simplicity, and no possibility to move it from the center area.
