1. PEMDAS Widget Overview

PEMDAS Widget is a simple but powerful calculator for scientists, engineers, students, and other professions to use when working on problems with equations.

PEMDAS stands for Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction, an acronym sometimes taught to children to help them remember the order of operations.

Interface Overview

PEMDAS features several different views. The default view is the Keypad view, which has a numeric keypad. A second view, the History view, contains a list of all the previously calculated equations as well as a list of active variables in the session.

In both Keypad and History views, the bottom bar of PEMDAS features quick access to the Formatting Type Selection Button, and the Degrees/Radians Selection Button.

You can get to the History view by clicking the Keypad/History Toggle Button. An overview of the History view is shown below:
