Maths, physics, electronics, chemistry and statistics, worked step by step
Homework, lab reports and workshop jobs share a need: a calculation done correctly, with the working shown. These free science and engineering tools do exactly that, in your browser, with nothing uploaded and no login. On the maths side, the matrix calculator adds, multiplies, transposes and inverts matrices, the determinant calculator expands along a row so you can follow it, the equation solver handles linear, quadratic and simultaneous equations, the derivative calculator and integral calculator show each rule applied, and the function grapher plots several functions on one set of axes.
For physics and electronics there is a projectile motion calculator with range, height and flight time, a resistor colour code calculator and capacitor code calculator for reading components, a 555 timer calculator for astable and monostable circuits, a battery runtime calculator, a wire gauge calculator that picks AWG or mm² for a current and run length, and gear ratio and torque calculators for mechanical work. The older Ohm’s law and voltage calculators live here too.
Chemistry students get a molar mass calculator that parses a formula and lists each element, a dilution calculator for C1V1 = C2V2, a pH calculator for strong and weak acids and bases, a chemical equation balancer and the periodic table for reference. Every result can be copied as plain text or LaTeX for a report.
Statistics, logic and tools for writing it up
- Statistics. The statistics calculator gives mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation and quartiles from pasted data; the z-score, normal distribution and t-test calculators handle probabilities and significance, and the linear regression calculator fits a line, reports r² and plots the residuals.
- Digital logic. The truth table generator evaluates a Boolean expression for every input, the Karnaugh map solver minimises it to the simplest sum of products, and the bitwise calculator does AND, OR, XOR, NOT and shifts in binary, hex and decimal side by side.
- Writing it up. The LaTeX equation editor renders equations as you type and exports them as an image or MathML, and the scientific notation converter keeps very large and very small numbers readable.
Using the calculators well
- Read the steps, not just the answer. The derivative, integral, determinant and equation balancer all show their working so the method is clear before an exam.
- Keep units consistent. The physics and electrical calculators let you choose units on each field and convert internally; mixing millimetres and inches in a torque calculation is the usual mistake.
- Wire gauge results follow the ampacity tables in common electrical codes for copper at room temperature. Longer runs are sized for voltage drop; always check against the code that applies where you are.
- Statistical tests assume certain things about the data (normality, equal variances, independence). The t-test page lists its assumptions and offers the Welch version when variances differ.
- Numerical integration is used when a closed-form result does not exist, and the page says so and gives the estimated error.
Science & Engineering: frequently asked questions
Do the calculators show the working?
Yes. The symbolic tools (derivatives, integrals, determinants, equation solving, balancing) list each step and the rule applied, and the numeric ones show the formula with your values substituted, so you can check them or copy them into a report.
How large a matrix can I solve?
The matrix and determinant calculators handle any size your browser can hold comfortably; up to about 10×10 is instant and the steps remain readable. Larger systems still solve, but the step-by-step view is summarised.
Which resistor colour bands are supported?
Four, five and six band resistors, including tolerance and temperature-coefficient bands, and the reverse direction: enter a value and get the colours.
Can I trust these for a real electrical installation?
The electronics calculators are correct for the formulas they state, but a real installation must follow your local wiring regulations and be checked by a qualified person. Use them for design, learning and checking, not as a substitute for the code.
Is the pH calculator exact for weak acids?
It solves the equilibrium expression for weak acids and bases from the Ka or Kb you give, and the simplifying approximation is shown alongside the exact root so you can see when they diverge.
