What do you mean, do you want to just use the calculator, or do you want code?

You can switch the calculator in accessories to scientific mode in M$Windows operating system, but that is not free if you do not have windows. Free is always a relative term.

Thanks guys. I did actually already try searching on google (believe it or not ;)). However there are som many to choose from and I am still working my way through them. I was hoping that someone could recommend a good one. I want to incorporate it into a website with pre-lab questions so it is easy to do calculations. Maybe people have other suggestions?

Mike, have you ever used a program called mathcad? It's not internet based, but might be interesting to look at otherwise.

Isn't MathCad "a little" overkill?

Mathcad is never overkill, it's great.

It is erratic in Opera - at first I have seen nothing, now I see it, but it is still not OK. Hard to explain.
