If you have a thing for numbers (and even if you don't), you'll definitely find a good use for Marcio C. Almeida's Macalc homebrew application for the iPhone. This scientific calculator program sports all the standard features on any floating point and integer calculator, emulated for the Apple mobile device.

This latest 0.1.7 version of the app features a couple of added conversions, as well as fixes up a couple of bugs in the system. The developer also mentions that he plans on adding even more scientific, statistics, and finance functions in future updates of Macalc.

Anyway, you can take a look at the list of new changes added to Macalc since our previous coverage of the program here:

0.1.7

- added many more conversions
- conversions are now plist based
- minor bugs fixed

To install Macalc onto your iPhone, just copy the contents of the downloadable archive into the /Applications directory and set the execute bit of Macalc to run it from there. Afterwards, restart your phone and you should be able to access it normally from your Applications folder.

You can also take a look at the source link below for more instructions on how to fully make use of all the features of this nifty application. Math aficionados will definitely get a kick out of this program, so go ahead and download it from our site through the link we've provided.
