Math, Angle, and Test Operations 2-3
Math operations that are valid for lists return a list
calculated element by element. If you use two lists in the
same expression, they must be the same length.
You can use + (addition,
Ã
),
N
(subtraction,
¹
),
ä
(multiplication,
¯
), and
à
(division,
¥
) with real and
complex numbers, expressions, lists, and matrices. You
cannot use
à
with matrices.

You can use the trigonometric (trig) functions (sine,
˜
;
cosine,
™
; and tangent,
š
) with real numbers,
expressions, and lists. The current angle mode setting
affects interpretation. For example,
sin(30) in Radian mode
returns
L
.9880316241
; in Degree mode it returns .5.

You can use the inverse trig functions (arcsine,

SIN
L
1
];
arccosine,

COS
L

]; and arctangent,
y

]) with
real numbers, expressions, and lists. The current angle
mode setting affects interpretation.

You can use ^ (power,

lists, and matrices. You cannot use
