A Notes

• These functions can be used in the CMPLX Mode, as long as a complex number is not

used in the argument. A calculation like

i

× sin(30) is supported for example, but sin(1 +

i

)

is not.

• The angle unit you need to use in a calculation is the one that is currently selected as the

default angle unit.

Angle Unit Conversion

You can convert a value that was input using one angle unit to another angle unit.
After you input a value, press

1G(DRG') to display the menu screen shown below.

1(D): Degrees

2(R): Radians

3(G): Grads

Example: To convert π

2

radians and 50 grads both to degrees

The following procedure assumes that Deg (degrees) is currently specifi ed for the default
angle unit.
