DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SIMPLE SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR
ABSTRACT
This work was centered on the Design and implementation of a simple scientific calculator for education organization. The study traced calculator system as a tool to completely change mathematical knowledge and sophisticated problems solving strategies had advanced the field of simulated engine in mathematic.
This project work also focused principally on numbers and arithmetic operation. This researcher investigated the manual system in detail with a view to finding out the need to automate the system.
Interestingly, the end result of simple calculator system was its ability to process number and operators, and provides a useful result.
Therefore, this project will help immensely in the following way. Easy calculating of tedious mathematical problems, easy to retrieval of errors and it will also be of a good assistance to any researcher on these topics.

INTRODUCTION
Ever since, tedious mathematical problems in the organization is not a simple one, that is to say, the process can be said to involve a lot of procedures or protocols which ranges from insertion of figures for tedious calculation, processing of numbers and retrieval of errors. However, because of this, there is the need to accomplish an extensive research to discover the intricacies involved in the entire process. So the researcher decided to embark on this work design and implementation of a simple scientific calculator.
Computer have gone from being fantasies of science, fiction of realities of everyday life, especially in the offices, school (educational organization). This work is a research aimed at solving the above promblem. When this system actualizes, it would be received of solving tedious calculations and sophisticated mathematical problems.
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In computation of numbers, there ties several kinds of problems in solving tedious arthimetic operation with simple calculator. Having been facing a lot of general problems, the problem identified below relate to computation of numbers:-
i low and slow speed of the calculator
ii Inappropriate representation of data
iii Loss of figure in computation of higher numbers
iv Inability of handling complex arithmetic operation
v The processing of numbers are in binary coded decimal(BCD)
To check these problems in computation of numbers solution such as a. Introducing a standard scientific modules into the entire system to perform tedious arithmetic operation.
b. Apply logic and algorithms simulation to the system
c. Introducing scientific calculator that will operate in the correct order rather than four function calculators
d. Checking overhauling of the system that are deemed incompetent
1.2 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
Since it is time saying that there is no smoke without fire ,the effort to carry out the research was not first conceived. To particularilize the matter and concept ‘what a calculator can do in solving tedious problems and how it is done? There is serious need for this study.
In view of the aforementioned problems inherent in the design of the simple scientific calculator, the purpose of the study is to provide on overview of the simple design calculator.
Another purpose is to change the processing number from binary coded decimal (BCD) to ASCLL coded which is better and familiar with today computer processing. The format 12H2- cannot be used in the design again, this means that it will not be controlled by a hardware state machine.
Finally, the purpose of this work is to improve the speed of the simple calculator in such a way that it will maximize the hardware needed and reduce the cost and complexity of the machine. This will help us to enjoy the anticipated high speed of our calculator.
