Using mathematical functions
ATAN
Arc tangent: tan1x. Output range is from 90° to 90°, 2/2 to /2, or 100 to 100 grads. Inputs and outputs depend on the current angle format. ATAN(value) Example ATAN(1) returns 45 (Degrees mode). value2 Example 182 returns 324 Square root. value Example -(1, 2) returns (-1, -2) Power (x raised to y). value^power Example 2^8 returns 256
ABS
Absolute value. For a complex number, this is ABS(value) ABS((x, y)) Example ABS(1) returns 1 ABS((1, 2)) returns 2. 2360679775

Takes the nth root of x. root NTHROOT value Example 3 NTHROOT 8 returns 2
Calculus functions
The symbols for differentiation and integration are available directly form the keyboard-- and S respectively--as well as from the MATH menu.
Differentiates expression with respect to the variable of differentiation. From the command line, use a formal name (S1, etc. ) for a non-numeric result. See "Finding derivatives" on page 11-21.
variable(expression)
Example
s1(s12+3*s1) returns 2*s1+3
Integrates expression from lower to upper limits with respect to the variable of integration. To find the definite integral, both limits must have numeric values (that is, be numbers or real variables). To find the indefinite integral, one of the limits must be a formal variable (s1, etc).
(lower, upper, expression, variable)
See "Using formal variables" on page 11-20 for further details. Example
(0, s1, 2*X+3, X) finds the indefinite result 3*s1+2*(s1^2/2)
See "To find the indefinite integral using formal variables" on page 11-23 for more information on finding indefinite integrals.

Using mathematical functions
TAYLOR
Calculates the nth order Taylor polynomial of expression at the point where the given variable = 0. TAYLOR (expression, variable, n) Example TAYLOR(1 + sin(s1)2, s1, 5)with Radians angle measure and Fraction number format (set in MODES) returns 1+s1^2-1/3*s1^4.
Complex number functions
These functions are for complex numbers only. You can also use complex numbers with all trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, and with some real-number and keyboard functions. Enter complex numbers in the form (x, y), where x is the real part and y is the imaginary part.
ARG
Argument. Finds the angle defined by a complex number. Inputs and outputs use the current angle format set in Modes. ARG((x, y)) Example ARG((3, 3)) returns 45 (Degrees mode)
