(i.e., "2,345" instead of "2.345"), Advantix Calculator can not perform calculation correctly. Solution: ========= We have recently fixed this problem. However, the user still need to specify a decimal point using "." symbol (instead of ","). This requirement is necessary because Advantix is using "," symbol to separate function arguments, for example, F(1.2,2.31). *** 4) Advantix Calculator Features *** Advantix Calculator is an advanced scientific and graphical calculator that evaluates mathematical expressions containing real and complex numbers, polynomials, rational functions, matrices, and vectors. It works with binary, octal, and hexadecimal numbers. It does Boolean algebra and mathematical logics. It also graphs user-defined functions in 2D, 3D, and polar coordinates. It provides custom interfaces where users can perform numerical and symbolic differentiation and integration on user-defined functions. It provides an easy interface to a number of common integration formulae where users can input required formula parameters and obtain instant integration result. It also solves linear and nonlinear equations and evaluates user-defined formulae and conversion formulae.
