What is new for users

There is a new toolbar design. The plot, degree/radians, scientific notation, and precision buttons are always visible (as well as the Stop Button). The activity toolbar is used to name the session, save a version, and share.

The edit toolbar is used for copy and paste

The function toolbar is used for common functions such as square and square root

The constants toolbar is used for contants such as pi and e

The trig toolbar is used for trigonometry functions: sin. cos, etc.

The boolean toolbar is used for operators: and, or, and not
