Author's Description: I needed a decimal/hex/binary calculator and I couldn't find one ... so I wrote one. A simple JavaScript page that acts like a base calculator.
A nice and simple calculator, accompanied by logical usage notes. Download the source (and visit the author's other applets and such) at the linked "Here" page. For comparison, also check out the Base Converter (this section).

Author's Description: A JavaScript to convert numbers between several bases: binary, ternary, hexadecimal, decimal, octal, quintal.
This JavaScript resource is a lot like the Base Calculator (this section) but with more bases. Both provide the user with additional helpful math, and both provide the source.

Author's Description: This calculator is designed to replace tables (e.g. NACA 1135) in performing basic compressible aerodynamic calculations. It is designed for those learning, teaching, or using compressible aerodynamics. It computes (both forward and backward) isentropic flow, normal shock, and oblique shock relations. It also has a scratch pad for doing the additional arithmetic usually needed to solve compressible aero problems.
If you're not an aerospace engineer or engineering student, you'll need to consult the linked What's This? or explanation page to have a ghost of a chance at using this calculator.

Author's Description: JavaScript code that uses a fairly quick random number generator to estimate how often an individual basketball player contributes to a win.
This calculator brushes aside the particular strengths and weaknesses of individual famous basketball players and uses statistics to determine how often they really help win a game. Other basketball-related resources on the Gamelan directory include BullSweep (Miscellaneous: Other Miscellaneous Resources) and Journal of Basketball Studies (News: Other News Resources).

Author's Description: This is a JavaScript calculator with several physical and astronomical constants programmed into it. It is based on the Scientific Calculator by Rolf Howarth (http://www.parallax.co.uk/~rolf/Calculator).
Scroll down the applet page to peruse the list of what this calculator covers-15 physical and eight astronomical constants. UNIX users should expand the applet window if this calculator looks fuzzy or fragmented, though Macintosh users with similar problems are probably out of luck.
