I agree with you in that one should avoid using Siri as a calculator for complex algebra and calculus homework. The lack of proper use of order of operations is a bit annoying because it can give you a completely different answer. Imagine if you are doing a sale and you charge your customer the wrong number. In the absence of a regular calculator, I would recommend using the Google Calculator instead. Have you tried using Google Voice for calculations?

You are right, Cristian. No funciona en español.

I recently discovered popcalc which is a very intuitive and easy free calculator for both iphone and ipad.
Definitely my default calculator now.

This nice trick does not work on Spanish. (Haven’t tried other languages though)

Siri can handle really completed equations also. Not just adding and subtracting. It’s been like that since the release of the 4S, don’t know why you think this is news
