Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide. Also accepts complex

 

numbers, lists and matrices.

 

value1+ value2, etc.

>6+,)7@ex

Natural exponential. Also accepts complex numbers.

 

e^value

 

Example

 

e^5 returns 148.413159103

>OQ@

Natural logarithm. Also accepts complex numbers.

 

LN(value)

 

Example

 

LN(1) returns 0

>6+,)7@10x

Exponential (antilogarithm). Also accepts complex numbers.

 

10^value

 

Example

 

10^3 returns 1000

>ORJ@

Common logarithm. Also accepts complex numbers.

 

LOG(value)

 

Example

 

LOG(100) returns 2

>6,1@,>&26@,>7$1@

Sine, cosine, tangent. Inputs and outputs depend on the

 

current angle format (Degrees, Radians, or Grads).

 

SIN(value)

 

COS(value)
