Using mathematical functions

Math functions

The HP 39G/40G contains many math functions. The functions are grouped in categories. For example, the Matrix category contains functions for manipulating matrices. The Probability category (shown as Prob. on the MATH menu) contains functions for working with probability.

To use a math function, you enter the function onto the command line, and include the arguments in parentheses after the function. You can also select a math function from the MATH menu.

The MATH menu

The MATH menu provides access to math functions and programming constants.

The MATH menu is organized by category. For each category of functions on the left, there is a list of function names on the right. The highlighted category is the current category.

When you press >0$7+@, you see the menu list of Math functions. The menu key 07+￿_￿indicates that the MATH FUNCTIONS menu list is active.
