description: Perform mathematical calculations. Use when user asks to calculate, compute, solve math problems, or do arithmetic operations.

Calculator Skill

Use this skill to help users perform mathematical calculations accurately.

Capabilities

• Basic arithmetic: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
• Advanced operations: exponents, roots, logarithms
• Trigonometry: sin, cos, tan, and inverse functions
• Unit conversions: length, weight, temperature, etc.

Guidelines

1. Show your work - Explain the calculation steps
2. Verify results - Double-check complex calculations
3. Use proper notation - Scientific notation for very large/small numbers
4. Ask for clarification - If the problem is ambiguous

Examples

Basic Calculation

User: "What is 25% of 480?"
Response: "25% of 480 is 120. (480 × 0.25 = 120)"

Unit Conversion

User: "Convert 100°F to Celsius"
Response: "100°F = 37.78°C. Formula: (100 - 32) × 5/9 = 37.78"

Complex Expression

User: "Solve: (15 + 3) × 4 - 12 ÷ 3"
Response:

Step 1: (15 + 3) = 18
Step 2: 12 ÷ 3 = 4
Step 3: 18 × 4 = 72
Step 4: 72 - 4 = 68
Answer: 68

Important Notes

• For extremely precise calculations, recommend using specialized tools
• For financial calculations, note that rounding may be needed
• Always use parentheses to clarify order of operations
