A Two-Button Scientific Calculator - Numberphile
The Brief
- Dr James Grime explains how to build a fully functional scientific calculator using only two buttons.
- The video is based on the paper 'All elementary functions from a single operator' by Andrzej Odrzywołek, which the description links.
- The description does not specify which operator or how the two buttons are used in detail.
Why watch · It shows how a single mathematical operator, taken with a constant, can generate the full set of elementary functions used in a scientific calculator.
- Scientific calculators
- Elementary functions
- Single-operator mathematics
