Scientific Calculator using Python

Overview

This repository contains a basic Scientific Calculator developed using Python as part of our Semester 2 academic project for the Python Programming course.

The project was created to understand and apply core Python concepts, mathematical computations, and GUI development using Tkinter.
It includes both:

• A command-line (terminal-based) calculator
• A GUI-based scientific calculator using Tkinter

This project is educational in nature and intended for learning and academic evaluation.

🎯 Purpose of the Project

The primary objectives of this project were to:

• Strengthen Python programming fundamentals
• Implement arithmetic and scientific calculations
• Learn GUI development using Tkinter
• Understand event handling and function-based logic
• Gain experience working in a small team

---

⚙️ Features

• Basic arithmetic operations: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division
• Scientific operations: Square root, Power, Trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan), Logarithmic calculations
• Two modes of execution: Console-based calculator & GUI-based calculator using Tkinter

---

🛠️ Technologies Used

• Python 3
• Tkinter (for GUI development)
• Math module (for scientific calculations)
