Memory minus button subtracts the number displayed from the contents of the memory.
Function Buttons
Percent button is used to find the percentage of a number. Enter the percentage amount, click the % button, then enter the number you want the percentage of, and then click equals. i.e. 20% 125 = 25 where 25 is 20% of 125. Note: The percent function will also work if you enter the number first and then the percentage you want i.e. 125 %20 = 25.
Fractions
To enter a fraction of the form 3/4. Click a number and then click fraction bar, then click another number.
You can use fraction space button to create a number of the form 5 3/4. Enter a number, then click fraction space, click another number and then click on the fraction bar button, lastly enter another number.
Decimal format button and Fraction format button work as pair. When you choose the one the other is switched off.

Scientific
X^2 is the square of a number or a number times itself. Enter a number, then click x^2.
X! is x factorial. X is a whole number greater than 0. A number in the form 4! is 4x3x2x1 or 24. Enter a number, then click x!
1/x is the reciprocal of a number and x cannot be zero. Enter a number of the form 0.2 and get 5. Enter a number, then click 1/x.
This button is used to inverse x and y.
Base operation is used to set a number as base (i.e. decimal or hexadecimal system). Enter a number, then click base.
The modulo operation finds the remainder after division of one number by another. The expression '5 mod 2' would evaluate to 1, because 5 divided by 2 leaves a quotient of 2 and a remainder of 1. Enter a number, then click on MOD, then enter another number, then click equals.
Log is the logarithm (exponent) on base 10 of a number. The log of a number of 45 is log 45 and equals 1.653212. Enter a number, then click on Log.
In is natural log or the logarithm (exponent) on base e of a number. The In of a number of 45 is In 45 and equals 3.806662. Enter a number, then click on In.
Lg2 is the logarithm (exponent) on base 2 of a number. The log of the number 45 base 2 is lg2 45 and equals 5.49185. Enter a number, then click on Lg2.
Lgy^x you can use this to raise a logarithm to higher power.
Y^x you can use this to raise a number to higher power. Enter a number, then click y^x, then enter another number.
You can use the x-root-of-y button to find any root of a number. Enter a number (y), then click x-root-of-y button, then enter another number (x), and then click equals.
10^x is 10 raised to the x power (exponent). A number in the form of 10^4 is 10000. Enter a number (exponent), then click 10^x.
e^x is e raised to the x power (exponent). A number in the form e^4 is 54.5982. Enter a number (exponent), then click e^x.
2^x is 2 raised to the x power (exponent). A number in the form 2^4 is 16. Enter a number, then click 2^x.
The number e is an important mathematical constant that is the base of the natural logarithm. It is approximately equal to 2.71828.
The number pi is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximated as 3.14159.
Phi represents the golden ratio, two quantities are in a golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. It is approximately 1.61803.
You can use the scientific notation button to handle very large numbers, this system makes use of 'powers of 10', raising 10 to whatever value you need. You can get either really big numbers by using positive powers like 10^5=100000. Or you can get really small numbers by using negative powers like 10^-5=0.00001. e stands for exponent and is used to represent 'times 10 raised to the power of' (x 10^n). For example, if you want the number 100000000 as a scientific notation, you enter 10, then click SN, then 7, and then equals (10eX10^7=100000000).
You can use the parentheses pair to group terms. Every parenthesis you open is numbered, parenthesis levels are indicated by a number in the display box next to the parentheses buttons. This way you can easily know how deep in a parenthesis you are, when the expression is complete there are no parenthses left in the display box. This is used for groupings of the form 4+(9x(15-7)+6). Click the open parenthsis button, enter terms, then click the close parenthesis button.

The History of calculators
The ancestor of the modern calculator is Abacus, which means 'board' in Latin. Abacus was a grooved board with movable counting labels (stones or bones).
Presumably, the first Abacus appeared in ancient Babylon about 3 thousand years BC. In Ancient Greece, abacus appeared in the 5th century BC.
