The Canon F-766S, sibling of the
Canon F-760S, is a scientific
calculator with a 2-line LCD, the
top part provides a 12-character
alphanumeric part for data entry, the botton part is a 10-digit regular 7-segment display showing results.
It is capable, providing statistical calculations, BASE-n operations, complex number calculations, a quadratic, cubic and simultaneous equation solver, and a library of 38 formulae. It is possible to enter large or really small numbers using unit symbols. For instance, type 9µ (Alpha 2) to enter the number 9 x 10-6. It is even semi programmable using the CALC key. Type a formula (using variables A-D, X, Y, M), then press CALC and the calculator will query the variables and calculate the result. A Very Simple Programming Example using CALC:
Calculate the area of circles with radius A:
The a b/c key can be used to enter and calculate using
fractions, but it can also used to turn non-fractional results into
fractions when possible.
First enter the sequence:
π × A2
Now repeatedly press CALC to calculate the area of several circles. Replacing the battery is easy, its compartment at the back of the calculator is held using only one PHILLIPS screw. |
