What are the different types of calculators?

Math and Science are the subjects that define the world as we know and find it in day-to-day operation. Both these subjects comprises of calculations, manipulations, finding out missing numbers or variables in form of complex equations that becomes part of our routine lives. We can quantify every little thing in our life that we try to. Most Math starts out with simple plus and minus which eventually builds up slowly complex forms of mathematics and scientific derivatives. Let’s understand the need of calculators.
We make use of standard form calculator to carry out complex manipulation of numbers, equations or expressions that comprises of parenthesis and braces. These calculators are used to find out logarithm, square root, factorial percentage, exponential and power equations. 
We use metrics calculators to find unit conversion, currency conversion, area or perimeter of land, house or room and volume of container or vessel.
We use algebra calculator to solve equations or expressions which are capable enough to handle order of operations (BODMAS rule), simplifying expressions, and combining Like terms, expression factoring and substitution with detailed explanation of the result. These calculators are. They are used to plot functions in customizable graph window. They can handle complex manipulation of fractions, perform comparison between numbers, Quadratic, Quartic, Cubic equations, standard, 2D, 3D vector manipulations, understanding concepts of Venn diagram and lot more.   
Calculus calculators are of two types; Differentiation calculator is used to find out rates of change (derivative) of one quantity compared to another especially when the rate of change is not constant. Integration calculator is used to calculate numeric integration of an expression.
Geometry calculators are used to carry out complex calculation finding out distance between multiple points, calculating ratio, section and midpoint between multiple points. They can use these calculators to find out Midpoint, centroid of triangle, calculate point slope form, slope intercept form, two point form, two intercept forms, length of perpendicular calculator and lot more            
Trigonometry calculators are used to find out sin, cos and tan of different types of triangles based on angles, trigonometric curve, Pythagorean Identity calculator, power reduction identity, product to sum and sum to product identity and lot more.
Calendar calculators are used by people to find out important days and dates during the years to come. They use event and zodiac calculators to calculate number of working days, manipulation of days, months and year to find out festival dates of all religions, calculate planetary hours and days, time unit conversion, repeating days, months and years and lot more.
Similarly, there are lots of online calculators available where students, adults, working professionals can access these calculators for their specific needs. Online calculators clearly explain the detailed path of performing the calculations and how it has arrived to particular result.
