Overview of JS Calc

JS Calc is a powerful and versatile calculator extension for Google Chrome. It combines the numerical and matrix capabilities of Math.js with the symbolic computation power of Nerdamer.js (specifically, a fork often referred to as nerdamer-prime as indicated by the use of nerdamer.all.min.js). This provides users with a wide range of tools, from basic arithmetic and unit conversions to symbolic differentiation, integration, and equation solving, all within a convenient browser popup or standalone window.

The interface is inspired by classic computational software (Mathematica, MATLAB, etc.), prioritizing a clean, scrollable history and an efficient input method.

Think in math, not buttons.
