Qalculate! is a robust cross-platform desktop calculator that is simple to use and equally capable of performing complex math calculations as well as other calculative tasks like percentage calculation and currency conversion.

What is awesome about Qalculate! is that it works with a library that features tons of customizable functions which make it excellent at unit conversions, plotting graphs, interval arithmetic, and symbolic calculations like differentiation, among other math problems.

Qalculate! is also capable of keeping the history of your calculations, a feature that comes in handy when making lengthy calculations or solving long math problems (typical of Calculus).

When you launch Qalculate! you will notice its straightforward workflow. It has a typical menu bar with file, edit, and help options. The other options are for setting the mode you want the app to be in while you use it, the variables you will be working with, and the units.
