Features
Qalculate! supports common mathematical functions and operations, multiple bases, autocompletion, complex numbers, infinite numbers, arrays and matrices, variables, mathematical and physical constants, user-defined functions, symbolic derivation and integration, solving of equations involving unknowns, uncertainty propagation using interval arithmetic, plotting using Gnuplot, unit and currency conversion and dimensional analysis, and provides a periodic table of elements, as well as several functions for computer science, such as character encoding and bitwise operations.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]
It provides four interfaces: two GUIs, one using GTK (qalculate-gtk) and another using Qt (qalculate-qt), a library for use in other programs (libqalculate), and a CLI program for use in a terminal (qalc).
- Qalculate! (GTK+ GUI): qalculate-gtk[19]
- Qalculate! (Qt GUI): qalculate-qt
- Qalculate! (CLI): qalc (usually provided by the libqalculate package)[20]
- Qalculate! (Library): libqalculate[21]
Use in academic research
- Bartel, Alexandre. "DOS Software Security: Is there Anyone Left to Patch a 25-year old Vulnerability?."
- "In our example of Figure 7, we choose to execute /usr/bin/qalculate-gtk, a calculator. Since the stack of the DOSBox process is non-executable, we cannot directly inject our shellcode on it."
- "The Gnome calculator was used to perform these calculations and the results were verified using the Qalculate! calculator and WolframAlpha (15) since spreadsheets are unable to perform these calculations."
