Manual
Getting startedDownloadYou can download the installation package here. Installation Unzip the package "yc.zip", execute "setup.exe" and follow instructions of the installer. Running Double-click the "yoshinoCALC" icon in the program of the start menu. Conventional ViewConventional View is one of the two aspects of yoshinoCALC. The software emulates a conventional sceintific calculator. I don't think you need a detailed manual to use it. The followings are explanations for some unusual keys. deg You can change units of angle between degree and radian by pressing this key. The current unit is shown at the top-left corner of the top text box. arcThis is to calculate arcsine, arccosine and arctangent.
sin-1(0.5)*6: "." + "5" + "arc" + "sin" + "*" + "6" + "=" This is to calculate hyperbolic sine, cosine, tangent. The way of using is the same as that of arc. FOn/FOffBy clicking this button, you can turn on and off the mark "fix" at the left-bottom corner of the top text box. While "fix" is on, a small fraction less than 10-8 will be rounded. [{( and )}]These are parentheses. You can make a hyerarchy structure like below. 2*((2+3)+(5-1)): "2" + "*" + "[{(" + "[{(" + "2" + "+" + "3" + ")}]" + "[{(" + "5" + "-" + "1" + ")}]" + ")}]" kin and koutYou can store up to six results in the six smaller boxes by using the "kin" key with a number key like "kin" + "1". Press "kout"+"1" and so on to reuse a stored number. *1.05Only this key is related not to science but to economy. This key is to calculate a price of something inclding a tax. Although the tax rate is 5% in Japan now, you might want to change the rate in your country. Then right-click on the "1.05" key and select the context menu "change tax rate". A dialog window opens and you can enter a new number in a text box. The same thing can be done by selecting a menu [Help]-[Change Tax Rate]. History ViewHistroy View is the other aspect of yoshinoCALC. You can evalute an expression made of following elements. The last result is copied to Clipboard as text. You can recall expressions in the list by "↑" and "↓" keys. Numbers You can enter an integer, a real number and even one with an index numbers as follows. But all the numbers will be treated as double-precision ones.
1234 You can enter π and e (Napier's number) as well as important natural constants by using following symbols. Units of the natural constants are of SI.
