Magic Number Machine: The Only Calculator You’ll Ever Need

Have you ever tried to use Calculator.app in place of your advanced calculator? If so, you may have noticed it lacks some advanced features and may not provide as precise an answer as needed. Magic Number Machine from Matt Gallagher is a great alternative.

Magic Number Machine provides many of the features missing from Calculator.app such as 25 accurate digits of precision, support for complex numbers, many different number modes, function history, statistics functions, linear regressions, matricies, built in constants, and most importantly, a visual representation of the expression you are entering. If Calculator.app were a TI-83/84 calculator, Magic Number Machine would be more along the lines of a TI-89.

Along with OS X’s built-in Grapher utility, Magic Number Machine could replace an advanced scientific calculator such as the TI-89. If you regularly use such a calculator (or even if you don’t), I highly recommend this useful app. Magic Number Machine is freeware and available from Matt Gallagher.
