Google Celebrates Pi Day With This Cute Calculator Easter Egg

Happy Pi Day, fellow nerds! The yearly celebration of the mathematical constant π or pi, aka the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter (and here I thought I’d never get a chance to use 9th-grade geometry in real life!).

The Straight-Up Nerdiest Calculator Watch on the Planet Earth

If you’re going to have a calculator watch, why trifle? Why bother with something that only performs basic arithmetic? You’re trying to make a statement, right: that math is important to you.

Calc.exe Is Dead, Long Live Google’s Calculator

Computational Devices of the Past Were Beautifully Complex

Long before anybody dreamed of a shiny iPad or glistening ultrabook, engineers and scientists used to get down to business with mechanical calculators to compute their solutions.

What the Heck Was a Comptometer?

This 1942 ad for a comptometer is just perfect because first of all, I had no idea what a comptometer was (a mechanical calculator, basically) and second, the spec sheet is wonderful: no glare dials, elimination of non-essential zeroes, and a “Keystroke Censor.” We’ve really come quite a ways in advancing technology. The things the…
