A scientific calculator is a specialized electronic device or software application designed to solve complex mathematical, scientific, and engineering problems. Unlike a standard four-function calculator that only handles basic arithmetic, it includes dedicated keys for advanced operations and strict adherence to the mathematical order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
