The GNU Emacs Calculator
Calc is an advanced desk calculator and mathematical tool written by Dave Gillespie that runs as part of the GNU Emacs environment.
This manual, also written (mostly) by Dave Gillespie, is divided into three major parts: “Getting Started,” the “Calc Tutorial,” and the “Calc Reference.” The Tutorial introduces all the major aspects of Calculator use in an easy, hands-on way. The remainder of the manual is a complete reference to the features of the Calculator.
This file documents Calc, the GNU Emacs calculator, included with GNU Emacs 25.1.
