Many calculators will do this. I like the CalcTastic Pro for android. This has a programmer mode, which will do all these and more. Its scientific mode will operate with complex numbers as well as real numbers. It can even take the complex

I wrote a lot of 1401 code in the 60's at UCLA including a 1401 assembler (5 x faster than IBM's), a floating point package, and an assembler for the historic SWAC there. It was a lot of fun.

Back in the 80's, I was programming in Fortran on a VAX 780. I had converted a complex eigenvalue-eigenvector routine from Algol to Fortran, and, after verifying that it worked, decided to see how much bounds checking added to the runt

I have used a trackball for many years since my wrist started bothering me, and I love it. I am right-handed, and I use Logitech's 575 and MX Ergo. I prefer the Ergo, even though it is more expensive. I keep it beside me on the couch w

I added this comment there: You can remove the overflow problems by modifying the code so that it computes ln(x!) as lnfact = .5 ln(math.pi)+x (ln(x)-1) lnfact += ln(((8 x + 4) x + 1)*x + 1/30.)/6.
