Table 5.2.2. – List of functions
When entering expressions, brackets can be used in the conventional mathematical
mode. For example (2+x)^(x-2) for x=3 results in 5.
Also the constant pi = 2*arc cos(0) is defined. The formula sin(pi/2) is correct and its
result is 1.
It is necessary to specify the range of the X variable. You can do so by writing the X
value of the first generated point to the “Real start” edit box, and the X value of the
last generated point to the “Real end” edit box.
