About Sicyon Lite v4.22

20 March 2008

Sicyon is an all-in-one scientific calculator for every student and professor, researcher and developer - everybody using physical or chemical formulas and tables of constants. It is easy-to-use and has everything you need to calculate or analyze expressions or program functions (VBScript™ / JScript™). Sicyon combines an intuitive interface and an object oriented approach to provide a fast learning curve while staying at a high level of efficiency.

The Lite version of Sicyon is a freeware.

  • 'Program mode' allows you to execute pieces of VBScript™ code in the main window.
  • a board browser for easier access to the boards and their content.
  • plot / tabulate a function in Explicit or Parametric mode.
  • find real roots, minimums, maximums and definite integral of an expression in a given interval.
  • curve fit over data (non-linear regression)
  • customizable HTML reports for all math procedures.
  • use a sophisticated units of measurement converter.
  • search in tables with various physical and chemical constants arranged in data boards.
  • editable spreadsheet-like user-data boards.
  • use matrices and matrix calculations.
  • "plug-in" additional applications called tool boards, usable as objects in the script.
  • organize the boards as tabbed pages in groups.

  For advanced users:

  • use Sicyon as out-of-process COM server to access a scripter and most of Sicyon's features (a development kit is include in the Pro and Plus versions)
  • create new database boards with DataBoard Utility.
  • add new units of measurement and their conversion rules from, and to SI.

Sicyon Lite has most of the basic boards you'll need and you can create your own function or data boards.
But you can order only the boards (70 in total) and the projects' collection (100+) from Sicyon Pro in
the package Sicyon Plus = (Sicyon Lite) + (all the boards and projects from Sicyon Pro) for only 14 US$.

Sicyon is written on Borland Delphi - the greatest instrument for creating programs that I know.
Sicyon (aka Sikyon, pronounced ) was an ancient Greek polis (city-state). "The temple of Delphi was the seat in ancient Greece of the oracle of Apollo...One of the buildings in the sacred precinct was the treasury of Sicyon, in foundation of which were found quaint sculptures from archaic predecessors..."
I dedicate "Sicyon" to Delphi and its creators.
