Default Preferred calculators for EE use

I generally leave my HP48 in the lab... so that leaves me using Google

complex numbers so I should probably start carrying it home...

Google Calc is useful in that it knows units, and it knows many the
fundemental physical constants... so you can do all sorts of cheating.


Throw this into the Google search box:

1/(2*Pi*4MHz*50 picofarads)

or try:

0.625*(c/14.030MHz) in feet

Instead of dragging your calculator home all the time, why
not go to hpcalc.org and download an emulator program for
your PC?
