RPN Calculator is a simple but powerful RPN calculator for MacOS with a scalable interface via selectable function palettes.

This calculator is one of the only mac calculator programs that handles complex arithmetic.

Here are some key features of "RPN Calculator":
A simple interface aimed at fitting in with the rest of the Mac OS
Multiple levels of interface complexity, revealing only the features needed
A few interface goodies, including contextual menus where useful
Smart copy & paste (concerning complex number recognition)
Drag & drop almost everywhere
8 to 4096 element stack, with 8 visible elements at all times
8 memories with mouseover preview of contents
Adequate set of built-in scientific functions
Special functions, such as Bessel functions
Full complex number support with respect to the applicable built-in functions
Numerous keyboard shortcuts
A compact mode which leaves only the display visible
Arbitrary number of user-defined constants
Arbitrary number of user-defined functions of up to 10 variables
Base conversion between bases ranging from 2 to 36
Unit conversion
Statistics registers with most common statistical functions
Linear systems of up to degree 5
Determinants and inverses (up to 5 by 5)
Prime number search
Factorization and prime factorization
Rational number approximation to decimal expansions
Extended dynamic range where appropriate via Victor Shoup's NTL
Ability to log events during a single session.

What's New:
Rebuilt with RB5.5.4. This should eliminate the "CPU hog" problem seen in Mac OS 10.3.x. Stack drop places a zero at the top instead of duplicating the top element.
