5 Cool Math Calculations You Can Do with Google Search

High School Mathematics, Web 2.0 Technology

Search engines are used to search things on the internet. But did you know that aside from searching stuff, you can also do other things using search engines?

Google, probably the most famous search engine today, has made significant changes in it search box. Now, math calculations can be performed by directly typing mathematical expressions in its search box. Below are some of the calculations that you can do with Google search.

1.) Perform Basic Math Calculations

Google search allows you to perform basic calculations. Basic doesn’t just mean the four fundamental operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). It also includes exponentiation and modulo division. Not only that, Google search can also perform calculation using words (e.g. divide pi by 2).  » Read more

Heart Graph for the Mathematically In Love

Math Lite, Web 2.0 Technology

It’s the first day of our GeoGebra training tomorrow, so let us celebrate Valentine’s day in advance. To all who are mathematically in love, you can celebrate Valentine’s day by doing the following:

  1. Copy this: sqrt(cos(x))*cos(300x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(6-x^2), -sqrt(6-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5
  2. Go to Google.com
  3. Paste it in the Google search box and click the Search button. You will see the graph below.
  4. Send the graph to your loved one. 

 

Surprised? Yes, Google Search has now the ability to plot mathematical functions.

Happy hearts day in advance!

Plot Functions with Google Search

High School Mathematics, Teaching Tools, Web 2.0 Technology

Google has recently added a graphing functionality to its search engine. You can now plot functions in Google’s search engine as shown below.  The graphs can be panned and zoomed.
You can also graph multiple functions using commas.  The graphs above were generated by typing x^2, x, sin(x), ln(x) in the search engine. Google is capable of graphing single variable functions including trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions as well as their compositions.
