What is Kalker?
Kalker is an expression-based scientific calculator for calculations that need more than a sequence of button presses. Define variables and functions, reuse them in later expressions, and work with complex numbers, vectors and matrices. Its math-like syntax accepts expressions such as 2xy, while syntax highlighting and Tab completion help enter mathematical symbols.
You can load files containing your own function and variable declarations instead of retyping them for each session. Kalker also estimates derivatives, definite integrals and roots. These are numerical results, not guarantees of exact symbolic solutions: higher-order derivatives can be inaccurate, and the root finder is limited to one root.

What it offers
- Define variables and reusable functions using math-like expression syntax.
- Calculate with complex numbers, vectors and matrices.
- Estimate derivatives and definite integrals; find a root using Newton’s method.
- Use syntax highlighting and Tab completion for mathematical symbols.
- Load files containing predefined functions and variables, including a default.kalker file loaded at startup.
Good to know
- Derivatives and integrals are numerical estimates; the publisher warns that higher-order derivatives can be inaccurate.
- Newton’s-method root finding is an estimate limited to one root.
