There are many kinds of calculators, besides ordinary calculators, there are graphic calculators and scientific calculators, all of which have more functions and more complicated computing power than ordinary calculators. The main difference between graphic calculator and scientific calculator lies in its function:
1, scientific calculator
Scientific calculator is an electronic calculator, which can perform power, root, exponent, logarithm, trigonometric function, statistics and other operations. There are different calculation functions according to different manufacturers and models. Generally, it is equipped with elementary function calculation function, statistics, regression analysis and other functions, and advanced with numerical calculus, numerical summation or quadrature, decimal conversion and bit operation, scientific constant, unit conversion, matrix and vector.
2. Graphic calculator
Graphic calculator has the functions of numerical operation, data processing and dynamic image processing, which are commonly used in high school mathematics teaching. It can be the main field involved in current mathematics courses, and also has the functions of numerical operation, drawing, statistics, finance, program, extension of calculator application Aplets and so on.
Generally speaking, graphic calculators are more complicated than scientific calculators. Some graphic calculators have functions that scientific calculators do not have, such as drawing and programming.
2. Can a graphic calculator replace a scientific calculator?
Of course.
Compared with scientific calculators, graphic calculators mainly have different functions. Generally speaking, most functions of scientific calculators, such as function calculation, solving equations (groups), unit conversion, etc. There are graphic calculators, and there are also functions such as drawing and transformation that scientific calculators do not have. Therefore, it is possible to replace scientific calculator with graphic calculator.
