Real–Number Functions
This chapter covers most of the calculator's functions that perform computations on
real numbers, including some numeric functions used in programs (such as ABS, the
absolute–value function). These functions are addressed in groups, as follows:
Exponential and logarithmic functions.
Quotient and Remainder of Divisions.
Power functions. (
and )
Trigonometric functions.
Hyperbolic functions.
Percentage functions.
Physics constants
Conversion functions for coordinates, angles, and units.
Probability functions.
Parts of numbers (number–altering functions).
Arithmetic functions and calculations were covered in chapters 1 and 2. Advanced
numeric operations (root–finding, integrating, complex numbers, base conversions,
and statistics) are described in later chapters. The examples in this chapter all
assume the HP 35s is in RPN mode.
Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
Put the number in the display, then execute the function- there is no need to press
