OP
I am starting developing a program to work with maths in it, and I want to add to it more features, just no to be like a single calculator. Any ideas for this program?

What are your goals in this? Teach you some maths, a project for some course, CV fodder, something you want to use? We already have the likes of matlab, mathml, all sorts of stats languages
https://www.datacamp.com/community/tutorials/statistical-language-wars-the-infograph#gs.XeX3zBM and this could go on for a while. To that end if you want to do something useful from scratch you face an uphill battle, on the other hand any number of open source projects out there could use some help.

Ignoring that then after basic calculator most people make a scientific calculator (logarithms, trigonometry, maybe basic stats), maybe then a graphics calculator, somewhere in the mix a programming calculator (mainly just output and calculate in binary, hex, float and maybe octal just because you can) and then after all that is done people look at equation solving. So you probably start with either solving basic y=mx+c things, then quadratics with real results, maybe figure out maxima, minima, or saddle points and then you are either inventing your own programming language or just implementing an existing one. Facing that they get bored with all that and maybe do geometry (surface areas, volumes....) or dip into physics/engineering (mostly electrical equations but occasionally basic mechanics), or they go down the rabbit hole of making sure their random numbers are random.

So yeah build your calculator if you want but to do something useful you would be far better off finding an existing project and seeing how you could expand that a bit.

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless

    the booty boogie from (once again) the donkey kong country cartoon could also be a good song to sing while playing sea of thieves

    Please insert 25 cents for an additional 30 minutes of talk time.
