Description
It's just so much better when 10 = twelve.

Dozecal is an educational RPN* calculator to promote the use of Base Twelve in math and science.
The usual math functions are available in both DUODECIMAL and DECIMAL modes.
Conversion is automatically made when switching from one mode to the other one.
Trigonometric operations uses DEGREE as unit of measure.
For more information about Base 12, please visit the Dozenal Society of America.
* RPN : the Dozecalc calculator uses the Reverse Polish Notation (RPN). This notation seems complex but has many advantages over algebraic notation and is more intuitive once you have understood the idea.
The calculator has a stack and any operation that requires two numbers is using the bottom stack layers (X and Y). Key ENTER to push the stack up and separate one number from the next. To perform arithmetic, key in the first number, press ENTER to separate the first number from the second, then key in the second number and then select and operator such as the numerical functions +, -, * or /. The result appears immediately after you press the numerical function key. The operator is keyed in only after both operands are in the stack.
Example: calculate 3 + 4
Key sequence: 3 ENTER 4 +
Result: 7
The result of any operation may itself become an operand. You do not need to press enter again to use the result. The "7" is already entered.
Example: add 2 to the previous result
Key sequence: 2 +
Result: 9
Example: calculate 5 * (3 + 4)
Key sequence: 3 ENTER 4 + 5 *
Alternate key sequence: 5 ENTER 3 ENTER 4 + *

What’s New
Version 1.0.7
• Fixed: a wrong calculation with logarithms.
• Improved: one can now enter up to 20d (decimal) or 18z (dozenal) digits for a better precision.
Ratings and Reviews
Interesting
Has novelty value!
I get the feeling this is a 'work in progress', so I look forward to seeing how it develops.
Unfortunately, although the display rotates it does not resize for landscape view, meaning part of the keypad is missing and the readout is not visible at all!
…Reverting to portrait mode:
Stack behaviour is a bit odd: results are not automatically put into the X register, thus requiring an extra tap on the 'Enter' key to get them there.
Also, the keys themselves do not always register a hit, so watching the readout becomes a priority — and it's easy to make irretrievable errors.
It seems its most practical purpose is as a base10 / base12 conversion tool. However, I do like the concept and it comes without adverts, for free. Highly commendable!
