2-4 Math, Angle, and Test Operations
The most commonly used math functions are on the keyboard. The keyboard
math operations can be used with decimal numbers, fractions (except as noted),
expressions, and lists.
The basic arithmetic functions are: addition

,
multiplication
p
, and division
e
. Each argument for these
functions can be a list.

The trigonometric functions are interpreted according to the
current
RADIAN

DEGREE
mode setting. (Refer to page 1

instructions on changing the mode setting.) For example,
SIN 30
in
RADIAN
mode returns
L
.9880316241
; in
DEGREE
mode, it returns
.5
. Each argument for the trigonometric
functions may be a list.
