Solve Equations Using This Service

While Spotlight makes a great calculator for quick problems, you cannot copy the result to your clipboard. Because of this, I have written a simple Service which solves math problems for you. You can download the service from Mediafire.com.

The functions supported are:

Standard AppleScript Functions: + - ÷ x
Exponential Functions: 2**3 or 2^3
Scientific notation: 1.2345E+10
Square root: sqrt(16)
And parenthesis: (2*(2+2))

Thus, you end up with this:

input: sqrt((15**34)/243)+16
Output: sqrt((15**34)/243)+16 = 6.320453887197E+18
