Three trigonometric functions are readily available in the keyboard: sine (S), cosine (T), and tangent (U). Arguments of these functions are angles in either degrees, radians, grades. The following examples use angles in degrees (DEG):

In ALG mode:

S30`

T45`

U135`

In RPN mode:

30S

45T

135U

The inverse trigonometric functions available in the keyboard are the arcsine („¼), arccosine („¾), and arctangent („À). The answer from these functions will be given in the selected angular measure (DEG, RAD, GRD). Some examples are shown next:

In ALG mode:

„¼0.25`

„¾0.85`

„À1.35`

In RPN mode:

0.25„¼

0.85„¾

1.35„À

All the functions described above, namely, ABS, SQ, √, ^, XROOT, LOG, ALOG, LN, EXP, SIN, COS, TAN, ASIN, ACOS, ATAN, can be combined with the fundamental operations (+-*/) to form more complex expressions. The Equation Writer, whose operations is described in Chapter 2, is ideal for building such expressions, regardless of the calculator operation mode.
