Calculator help...

VinnyH · 02-07-2008, 01:51 PM

I'm hoping I'm right and everyone here is a lot smarter than me.

The last time I took a college math class was about 1980.

I'm taking a math class to make up some credits and we'll be doing a lot of converting between base systems. Is there a calculator that will convert between say Base10 and Base12 (or any other Base system)?

I can do the work the old-fashioned way by long hand but I figure a calculator like that will help with homework and during tests.

Thanks,
Vinny
