Tip
• You can select “
i
” or “
j
” for the imaginary unit. See “Specifying the Complex Number Imaginary
Unit” on page 16-15-1.

Important!
Regardless of the currently selected angle unit setting, a calculation that includes an
imaginary number power exponent (such as:
e
P
i
) is performed using radians as the angle unit
(

Assistant Mode and Algebra Mode
The Algebra mode automatically simplifies mathematical expressions produced by
calculations. No simplification is performed in the Assistant mode. In the Assistant mode,
you can view intermediate results as well, which allows you to see the steps that lead to a
particular result as shown in the “expand” example below.
