Scientific Calculator Requirements Specification

1 Introduction
This document contains the requirements proposal for a Scientific Calculator for our
customer. The requirements listed are written for the perspective of potential users and
are based on the interview process and use-cases created. This is not a technical
document and should be accessible to all potential users of the system.
The requirements are spit into different sections for ease of use, and easy search. Lists
of the individual sections are given in the Overview section of this document.
The purpose of this user-requirements document is to give an outline of how the
proposed system will work as concerned specific processes that users would previously
have done manually.
Each individual requirements briefly describes how the system should operate (upon
completion) in performing certain tasks. Each individual requirement contains a unique
requirement number, and groups of numbers are used to clearly identify different
groups of activities. The title of each requirement clearly identifies the process.
The rationale describes the reason for including such a requirement if necessary. There
is also a dependency, which relates each requirement to another, or group of others, if
it is deemed they are related or dependent upon each other.
A glossary of terms is given to clearly describe the meaning of certain terms as
concerned this particular project. Although many of these descriptions may seem
obvious, the purpose is to clarify an agreed meaning for certain terms to avoid any
misunderstanding or potential confusion between the parties involved.
