Denotes the top of the stack
It is possible to move the .
marker upwards through the stack, temporarily hiding some numbers from commands like +
. This is called stack truncation, see Truncating the Stack, if you are interested.
n

Q
Square root of the number in the top of the stack
NOTE These commands replace the top of the stack with the result of the calculation.
U
Undo operations on the stack.
D
Redo operations on the stack.
<RET>
If you press <RET>
when you're not entering a number, the effect is to duplicate the top number on the stack.
<SPC>
Does the same <RET>
does.
<TAB>
Exchanges the top two elements of the stack.
M-<TAB>
Rotates the top three elements of the stack.
<DEL>
Removes the top of the stack.
M-0 <DEL>
Removes the entire stack.

All calculator commands begin with the word calc-
. You can type x
directly which is just like the regular M-x
key except that it types the calc-
prefix for you.
The notation (a, b)
represents a complex number.
'
Enter algebraic expression.
m a
Activates/Deactivates the Algebraic mode.
In Algebraic mode, when you press any key that would normally begin entering a number (such as a digit, a decimal point, or the _ key), or if you press ( or [, Calc automatically begins an algebraic entry.
vector-mean
u M
Calculate the mean of a vector.
f h
hypot
Calculate hypotenuse using Pythagorean Theorem.
