My favorite calculator is Calc98.
http://www.calculator.org/
This is freeware - and is a great product with TONS of features. I actually have the paid version ($11.95) on the pay for reasonably priced good software theory - even though the freeware version was doing me just fine (this was years ago).

This calculator has functions built-in for combinatorics (stats mode) - and also has the ability to do fractional math.

I won't list all the functions, but here's the modes (note that since I have the paid version some of these may not be on the free-ware version).
Decimal
Binary
Octal
Hexadecimal
BaseN
Angle
Time
Finance
Statistics
Matrix
Complex
Roman
Fractions
IP address
Feet/inches

It also has a ton of built-in conversions. The one thing it's missing is a tape type feature for storing a string of results - you have to copy or store results of individual calculations for use further on. And you can't enter a long calculation with lot's of terms in one shot. For that I use my next option:

Next option would be Google's built-in calculator functions

http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/features.html#calculator

There I could enter something like the following:
To find the percentage of flopping a 4 flush, or a made flush, when holding 2 suited cards:
Code:
100 * ( (11 choose 3)/(50 choose 3) + ((11 choose 2) * (50 - 11)) /(50 choose 3) ) =


Enter that into Google and it'll give you the answer:
Quote:

100 * (((11 choose 3) / (50 choose 3)) + (((11 choose 2) * (50 - 11)) / (50 choose 3))) = 11.7857143




Excel also has almost any function you need built-in to it - but that starts getting more complicated.

Does this calculator have a combination button? I've installed the calculator, but I can't find it. Embarassed

Missed this one Smile

If you're talking about calc98 then yes it does. First you need to switch the mode to statistics mode. Then look for the nPr and nCr keys. One is permutations the other is combinations.

Read the help - there's a LOT of features in this one.
