The iPad, curiously, does not include a calculator, but PCalc Lite does just fine as a free stand-in. In addition to basic math, it also includes trigonometric functions, unit conversion and other goodies. If you need more than that, the developers sell more features through in-app purchases, along with a full-blown scientific calculator for $10. [App Store]
