Roots, Logarithms & Trigonometry
Function | Name | Behaviour |
sqrt() | Square Root | Returns the square root of a number (also √) |
cbrt() | Cube Root | Returns the cube root of a number |
sqrt(16) | 4
cbrt(343) | 7
square root of 81 | 9
cube root of 27 | 3

Function | Name | Behaviour |
exp() | Exponential | Calculates the value of e to the power of x, where e is the base of the natural logarithm. exp(1) returns Euler's number. |
ln() | Natural logarithm | The natural logarithm of a number is its logarithm to the base of the mathematical constant e. |
log2() | Base 2 logarithm | Calculate the base 2 logarithm of a value |
log(), log10() | Base 10 logarithm | Calculate the base 10 logarithm of a value |
log 20 base 4 | 2.1609640474
You can also use more natural phrases for this operation:
81 is 9 to what power | 2
27 is 3 to the what | 3
Function | Name |
sin() | Calculate the sine of a value |
sinh() | Calculate the hyperbolic sine of a value |
asinh() | Calculate the hyperbolic arcsine of a value |
cos() | Calculate the cosine of a value |
cosh() | Calculate the hyperbolic cosine of a |
acosh() | Calculate the hyperbolic arccos of a value |
tan() | Calculate the tangent of a value |
tanh() | Calculate the hyperbolic tangent of a value |
atanh() | Calculate the hyperbolic arctangent of a value |
Trigonometric functions assume a value in radians by default.
If you want to use degrees, specify this in the parameter:
sin(90 degrees) = 1.0
sin(90) = 0.8939966636
Function | Name |
asin() | Calculate the inverse sine of a value |
acos() | Calculate the inverse cosine of a value |
atan() | Calculate the inverse tangent of a value |
Inverse trigonometric functions return a value in radians. If you want to use degrees, specify this in the parameter:
asin(0.5 degrees) = 30º
asin(0.5) = 0.5235988 radians
Function | Name | Behaviour |
abs() | Absolute value | Returns the absolute value of a number (i.e makes a negative number positive) |
fact() | Factorial | Returns the factorial of a given number. |
pi or π | Pi | 3.1415926536… |
