Hi guys, I recently took up chemistry in my last year of high school and I am looking for a calculator that can utilise element names and do some math, like matrices, simultaneous equations(for windows), any ideas?(Im currently using spacetime calculator for win)

http://www.wolframalpha.com/ Calculator for everything plus more!

I need one for offline use, so i dont suppose thats much help, although i do use it sometimes

If you want, Mathematica is wolfram on steroids but you have to pay for it. Idk if you can find it otherwise.

Free software from the university :P.

In both chemistry and mathematics, the only 2 things you need are



;)

Marpis… you need 3 things ;)

Actually, you need 4 things :)

something like this:

i thought microsoft recently released a software of theirs (thought it was called mathematica (but idk if its what you mentioned)) that is now free

What's wrong with an ordinary Texas Instruments ti-84?

Its not as pro as a TI-89 nor a TI-Nspire.

Wasn't allowed either of these in my high school year. 84 and down. Also, as a side note don't buy these thinking you'll use them a lot in uni, all math courses are no calculator, as well as a bunch of other courses (for engineering at least). Only courses I've been allowed them are Chemistry, Computer Science, and other easy first year credits.

E:

Also, nothing beats Wolfram (that I'm aware of), having anything better would be overkill because I've yet to run into something that it can't do. Except volumes of revolution (but it's easy to set the integral up)

Wolfram, Maple, SPSS, ChemBioOffice. My arsenal of weapons to tackle most math and chem classes :D.
Too bad I don't get to use them much anymore (because I don't have to take anymore math).

I didn't know about that, but microsoft have a bundled-in equation/integral/everything solver included in their Microsoft Student program. I use it, the whole program is pretty helpful and helps me on those tricky equations.

Well…I guess you could find some place to download it.. ;)

I need something to use on comp and its old, I have a ti-nspire

You can download Microsoft Mathematics here but I'm not sure how relevant that is to chemistry. Not very I'm guessing ;)
