No square roots, sin, cos, tan, log, ...? Wheh! What am I missing?

there....

many different types of conversions.

The standard Windows calculator can be either a Standard
calculator or a fairly modest Scientific calculator. Toggle
between the two kinds on the View Menu.

All of the functions you ask about are available there on the
Scientific view. The trigonometric ones are named directly. For
Square Roots. enter the number you want the square root of, press
the x^y key, then enter .5. That will raise the number to the 1/2
exponent, which is the same as the square root.

Wow!

All I see is Hide/Show, Full Screen, Thread, ... I'm on Moz. Maybe IE is different.

It is the "view" right on the calculator window. Surprised me, too.

All I see is Hide/Show, Full Screen, Thread, ... I'm on Moz. Maybe IE is

different.

What has the calculator got to do with Mozilla or IE? You find it and
display it through Start > Program Files > Accessories > Calculator. The
View is nothing to do with your browser, it's View in the Calculator window.

perhaps?

The calculator is not a browser function but a separate
application. I've mucked around with my Start menu but I think
originally it was under Accessories somewhere. If you can't find
it, hit the Windows+R keys and type "calc" (no quotes) in the
window.

Once the valculator opens, look at the menu at the top. Select
View>Scientific for additional functions. The calculator will
remember this setting the next time you open it.
