Engineering arithmetic scratchpad

Inputs

A retained label for this saved arithmetic context; it is not parsed.
Allowed characters: numbers, parentheses, +, −, *, /, and ^. Variables and functions are intentionally unsupported.
A user-entered context label for the scalar terms. This workspace does not convert or validate it.
A user-entered display label only. This workspace does not check dimensions or convert units.

Results

A wrong number here has physical consequences. Check the method and the boundary below before using this result, and have it reviewed by someone accountable for the design.

Method

Formula, when it applies, and when it does not

Evaluate a named scalar expression using only numbers, parentheses, +, −, ×, ÷, and exponentiation, while retaining unit labels.

Fixed grammar: number · ( ) · + · − · * · / · ^

When

  • Scalar arithmetic only
  • Fixed documented grammar
  • User-declared unit labels
  • No symbolic variables

Don’t

  • Declared input label: N. This evaluates only the displayed scalar arithmetic grammar. Formula names and unit labels are retained user context, not parsed or validated. It does not support variables, functions, unit conversion, dimension checking, symbolic algebra, code execution, or engineering-model validation.
