9. Advanced function set — support for gamma function and Bessel functions of the integer order, sum and product of series, random number generation
10. Context help — get help for any item you see just in two clicks
11. Embedded function handbook — get definition, graph and identities for any function just in two clicks

1. Easy to learn

Li-X calculator is expression calculator, which means it can evaluate the whole expression at once.

To evaluate expressions in Li-X calculator or program it you are to know book notation, eastern or western, and a couple of keywords. Here they are: Memory (Mem) and Result (Rslt). Use access to current result like:

sin(Result)

Store values to memory like:

2−>Memory[Name]

Use the value in memory like (short notation):

sin(Mem[Name])

Looks, now you know everything about syntax.

2. Programmable

If your calculations are long, sophisticated and multistaged — scientific calculator Li-X can manage that for you. Enter all your formulas, use memory for storing results and utilizing them in other formulas, evaluate single formula or all of them at once, run your calculations as script.

Here is a primitive script sample, which calculates phase, sets time and evaluates expression as function of phase and time:

//   Calculate phase
arcsin(.15)−>Mem[phase];
//   Set time
.12−>Mem[time];
//   Evaluate expression
37.18+8.9×sin(Mem[phase]+2×π×Mem[time]);

and read this case to study how scripts can help you to organize your calculations.

3. Integrated text processor

Enter your formulas from PC keyboard, edit them, insert comments. Your edit window area is limited only by display of your PC. Change the text editor font to your likeness.

4. Statistics support

Calculate mean, variance, standard and average deviations, skewness and kurtosis in one click — put the input data into memory and click St button to evaluate all parameters.

5. File support

Save your work to disk. Li-X calculator files have text format, you can edit and create calculations in any text editor and then load into calculator for evaluation. Run your calculation scripts without loading them into the editor.

6. Print support

You can print your calculations, control how they appear on paper, add header and footer to every page with file data, date, time and page number, set proper margins and preferable fonts.

7. Smart keypad

You can hide keypad to maximize display area and work only from PC keyboard. Or you can detach and place it at any comfortable position. Change color, size and appearance to your likeness. Change its notation and set preferences to automatically append functions with opening parenthesis.

8. Extended memory control

You can allocate as many memory cells for intermediate results as you need, just provide unique names for them. You can save memory to disk to use results in other calculations.

9. Advanced function set

As advanced scientific version Li-X calculator has extended functionality often required by scientific calculations. Calculator supports special functions:

• gamma function Γ
• Bessel function of the first kind of the integer order J_n;
• Bessel function of the second kind of the integer order Y_n.

It has a couple of functions for series processing:

• sum of series ∑
• product of series ∏.

As well the calculator has an embedded random number generator.

10. Context help

Getting help for any item you can see in Li-X calculator is as easy as two clicks — just click the question mark button in toolbar and then click the item of interest — and you will be taken to the page with explanation.

11. Embedded function handbook

As its part Li-X calculator help has function handbook, which contains all function definitions, graphs and identities. To access the handbook click the question mark button in toolbar and then click the corresponding function button in keypad — and you will be taken to the handbook function page like “arcsin — trigonometric arc sine function”.
