Math & Science Calculators

Eighteen tools for the calculations that come up in homework, lab reports and site measurements — each showing the formula it used, not just the answer.

About these calculators

The set spans four areas: everyday arithmetic like percentages and roots; geometry for area, volume, circumference and tank capacity; physics for velocity, acceleration, kinetic energy, electric charge and lens power; and chemistry for molar mass, gas volume and mass from density.

Where a calculation can be rearranged, the tool lets you solve for any variable rather than forcing one direction — enter the two values you have and it works out the third. Results keep sensible precision instead of dumping fifteen decimal places, and the significant figures calculator is there when the precision itself is the point.

Formulas students ask about most

  • Percentage change = (new − old) ÷ old × 100
  • Area of a circle = πr², and an acre is 43,560 sq ft
  • Volume of a cylinder = πr²h
  • Velocity = distance ÷ time, and acceleration = change in velocity ÷ time
  • Kinetic energy = ½mv²
  • Ideal gas law: PV = nRT, with R = 8.314 J/(mol·K)

Every calculator page shows the formula, a worked example and the common mistakes, so you can check homework answers by hand.
