One of my last projects as a student of Computer Engineering involved building a hardware dictionary scanner - needless to say that having the programmer calculator back then would have been a handy tool.Īpple has also brought back graphing functionality to their OS, as Tiger now ships with Grapher - a 2D/3D graphing calculator. The calculator also has the option of showing you the ASCII and Unicode representation of any of your calculations, which is also very useful depending on the type of project that you're working on.
The programmer's calculator allows you to perform binary math and bitwise operations, which can definitely come in handy. Tiger has three new calculators, two of which are particularly useful to engineers and students in engineering.
