Chalk For Mac

Although macOS has a built-in calculator, there are times when its three working modes (i.e. basic, scientific, programmer) are just not enough for the task at hand.

For example, you might have to calculate a complex mathematical expression and, as we all know, the Calculator.app is notoriously difficult to use for entering complex equations.

In other cases, you may want to plot a mathematical expression, and the macOS calculator is definitely not equipped for such tasks.

This is where the Chalk application comes in to save the day, by providing you with a built-in equation grapher module and with a straightforward way to input mathematical expression from matrices to highly sophisticated trigonometric equations.

Chalk is the right tool to have on your Mac if you need to compute and plot complex mathematical expressions on a daily basis, as well as having to work with quaternions and complex numbers.

Despite its support for complicated and, for some, quite obscure mathematical concepts, albeit for hardened mathematicians and scientist just ordinary day to day calculations, Chalk features a simple to use and intuitive user interface.

It has two modules, a calculator and a grapher, and it has been designed from the ground up to help you begin working without having to worry on how to get started or where you need to enter the expression you need to compute or plot.

Besides the already mentioned features, Chalk also has support for using large numbers of up to millions of bits at a time, as well as bits manipulation for developers to work with various bit representations when needed.

As an added advantage, Chalk also supports graph uncertainty thus avoiding data disappearance due to subsampling. Moreover, it has infix and RPN working modes and prime number decomposing and testing.

In a nutshell, if Apple's macOS calculator doesn't make the cut for you, you should give Chalk a try as it probably has most if not all the features you were missing.
