USAGE

This is an Infix Notation Calculator for the GNU/Linux Operating System (not a polish one). JAC is the acronym of "Just Another Calculator" and it is particularly suitable for scientifical calculations. Examples of usage of jac are

cos(3*(pi/2))
1.836685814385754238e-19
cos((3*pi)/2)

cos(pi/4*e) = -0.534686930168567074466785728029

cos(pi/4*e^2) = 0.887071465339717571814006158931

cos(pi/4*e^2)*2 = 1.774142930679435143628012

sin pi + 2 + 5 = 7

sin (pi/2 + 3 + 5) = -0.1455000338086135254

sin (pi/2 + 3 + 5)/2 = -0.07275001690430676268

sin(2^(3+2)) = 0.5514266812416905506615581

Evaluation of the rest energy of the electron

m_e * c_0^2 = 8.187105776823886314e-14

You can use scientific notation by using the capital "E", since "e" indicates Euler's number.

h* 2.5E5 = 1.6565172E-28

other examples:

4000*ln2 or 4000ln2 = 2772.5887222397811449071

(5^5 -5)/5 + 5 = 629

tan(50+1)*3 = 2.709258448126293239

or

4+4.5-(34/(8*3-3)) = 6.8809523809523809525

100 exp^-(ln2)1000/1590

You can also pass the expression as argument at the command line

jac 7*8

If you pass the expression at the command line, please be mindful that bash treats parenthesis as special charachters therefore escaping is needed:

jac '4+4.5-(34/(8*3-3))'

The syntax for other mathematical operators is the following

- acos(x) Computes the angle (0 to π radians) whose cosine is x

- asin(x) Computes the angle (—π/2 to π/2 radians) whose sine is x

- atan(x) Computes the angle (−π/2 to π/2 radians) whose tangent is x

- cos(x) Computes the cosine of x (x in radians)

- sin(x) Computes the sine of x (x in radians)

- tan(x) Computes the tangent of x (x in radians)

- e^x Computes the exponential function of x (e<sup>x</sup>)

- sinh(x) Computes hyperbolic sine of x

- cosh(x) Computes the hyperbolic cosine of x

- tanhh(x) Computes the hyperbolic tangent of x

- ln(x) Computes the natural logarithm of x

- log(x) Computes the base 10 logarithm of x

- sqrt(x) Computes the square root of x

- n! Computes factorial of n

- cbrt(x) Computes the cube root of x

- bin_dec(x) Conversion of binary x to decimal

- dec_bin(x) Conversion of decimal x to binary

- abs(x) absolute value of x

Remember to use parenthesis with trigonometric functions like sin(pi/2) and not sin pi/2.
