Just push the button ... A Dozenal Calculator We′ve been asked for a calculator and at last someone′s made one for us! No, it's not this one, but a real one...

And here is what it looks like, on the screen:

(NB: This is for Windows; there is no Mac version.)

The display shows the value of π in base twelve.

The display can show up to *12 digits (or 8 significant figures using scientific notation).
Note that "A" stands for "ten" and "B" for "eleven", so, for example, "a dozen and ten" is written "1A".

In addition to the normal keys for calculations (which can be accessed from the keyboard as well as by the mouse), and A and B for ten and eleven, we have:

• top left panel:
• shows the mode "Zen" for base twelve and "Dec" for base ten.
• M shows when a value (non-zero) is held in the memory.
• 260 indicates which angle measure system is in use (four available)
• + indicates current arithmetic operation

• 2nd column: the ";" key gives a decimal point when in "Dec" mode and a semicolon for the dozenal point when in "Zen" mode.
• 3rd column: "Exp" is used to enter numbers in scientific notation
• 5th column: "<-" backspace key deletes last entry
• 6th column: "AC" clears display and stored operations
• 6th column: "Zen" (or "Dec") switches from dozenal to decimal and vice-versa
• 6th column: "1, TGM, 260 (360), Rad" switches from one angle measure to another
• 7th column: Trigonometrical functions and Logarithmic function
• 8th column: Inverse trigonometrical and logarithmic functions

Summary of key functions:
