simult(coeffMatrix, constMatrix
[
, tol
]
) 
⇒
  matrix
Solves multiple systems of linear equations,
where each system has the same equation
coefficients but different constants.
Each column in 
constMatrix
 must contain the
constants for a system of equations. Each
column in the resulting matrix contains the
solution for the corresponding system.
Solve:  x + 2y = 1  x + 2y = 2

sin(expression1) 
⇒
  expression
sin(list1) 
⇒
  list
sin(expression1)
 returns the sine of the
argument as an expression.
sin(list1)
 returns a list of the sines of all
elements in 
list1
.
Note:
 The argument is interpreted as either a
degree or radian angle, according to the
current angle mode. You can use 
ó
or 
ô
to
override the angle mode setting temporarily.

sin(squareMatrix1) 
⇒
  squareMatrix
Returns the matrix sine of 
squareMatrix1
. This
is 
not
 the same as calculating the sine of each
element. For information about the
calculation method, refer to 
cos()
.
squareMatrix1
 must be diagonalizable. The
result always contains floating-point
numbers.
