Besides the alternate calculator types or conversion functions in the Mac calculator app there are some advanced features that you may not know about. You can use copy and paste, the delete key, set a number of decimal places, and have your Mac speak the results. The most useful feature is the paper tape window where you can record your calculations.

I had no Idea! thanks!!!!
This is terrific! Especially for a numbers-dummy like me. I've really needed a tape but my little solar calculator doesn't have that skill but now I do! Thanks.
This helped me so much! How awesome to have all those capabilities I didn't know I had.
Plus, I didn't even realize my MacBook Air had a calculator app.
Thank you!!
Good trick, thanks... Can we show calculator's icon on the menu bar?
Ertugrul: No, it is an app. So you would add it to the Dock for quick access, not the menu bar.
OMG! I use the calculator all of the time and never knew about the tape or the decimal places. This is really awesome and thanks for sharing the knowledge!
I will share this Mac tutorial with my undergraduate students who take my course in a Mac computer lab. Thank you so much for sharing.
