You can hit command + spacebar, which will bring up a search bar, and then type in calc, or calculator, and hit enter to open the calculator application. You can also find the calculator in Applications, or you can just use command + spacebar and type in the equation you wish to solve to the search bar, and the answer will appear without you needing to fully open the calculator app.

You might want to make the calculator available on the dock. This can be achieved as follows:

• Command+Option+Space to open a new Finder window
• In the left side of the Finder window select "Applications" under "Favorites"
• In the right side of the Finder window select the "Calculator" app
• Drag the "Calculator" app to where ever you'd like on the dock

You can then click on the Calculator icon in the dock any time you want to start it.
