Calculation options include the algebraic operators (+, -, *, /) as well as several function operators, 1/x, ln(x), log(x), 10 to the x power, e to the x power, square root of x, and x to the n power. Calculated values may be saved for use in subsequent calculations. For clarity to beginning students, uncertainties are given to two significant figures, and results of calculations are given to the same number of decimal places as the input values. Hardware and Software Requirements Software in Series C of JCE: Software requires an Apple Macintosh computer with a hard drive and a SuperDrive floppy disk drive. Buoyancy Programs, Viscosity of Polymer Solutions, and Precision of Calculated Values all require HyperCard or HyperCard player version 2.0 or higher. At least 2 MB of RAM with System 6 or 4 MB of RAM with System 7 are required. Installation of Buoyancy Programs requires approximately 300 KB of disk space, Viscosity of Polymer Solutions ~ 400 KB, and Precision of Calculated Values ~ 200 KB.
