Numbers with exponents of 10 are displayed with an "e", for example 4.5e+100 or 4.5e-100. This function represents 10^x. Numbers are automatically displayed in the format when the number is too large or too small for the display. To enter a number in this format use the exponent key "EE". To do this enter the mantissa (the non exponent part) then press "EE" or use the keyboard shortcut key "e" and then enter the exponent.

The memory functions allows you to store and recall calculations using a temporary stack storage element.

1. The memory plus function is used by clicking on the "M+" button. This adds the value to whatever is stored in memory (initially this value is zero).
2. The memory minus function is used by clicking on the "M-" button. This subtracts the value from whatever is currently stored in memory.
3. The memory recall function is used by clicking on the "MR" button. This recalls the value from the memory and places it into the working area. The value is still kept in memory.
4. To clear the memory value, click on the "clear" button twice.
