Function catalog
Type a function name in a math region, or insert it from the Math tab Functions ▾ (tooltip: Browse functions by category (Trig, Stats, …); operators and matrices are under Operators). Categories in the panel: Stats, Matrix, Trig, More. Click a token to insert it into the focused math region.
Insert from the ribbon
- Click a math region so the caret is in the field.
- Open the Math tab.
- Choose Functions ▾, pick a category, then click a function. Parentheses and placeholders appear so you can tab between arguments.
Operators ▾ is the other catalogue: Algebra, Compare,
Matrix, Calculus, and Define. Use it for :=, ranges, and
calculus tokens that are not in Functions ▾.
Common groups
- Trig —
sin,cos,tan,asin,atan2, hyperbolic forms. Angles that come back from inverse trig carry radians; convert withto(..., "deg"). - Logs and roots —
sqrt,cbrt,nthroot,exp,ln,log,log10,log2. - Rounding —
abs,floor,ceil,round. - Stats —
min,max,sum,mean,median,std. - Complex —
re,im,conj,arg. - Constants on the ribbon — π, e, ∞, g. In expressions:
pi,e,inf,g,i/j.
The full typed list is in
Function list.
ln() and trig on a dimensioned value require a dimensionless
argument (or an angle unit where the function accepts one). A length in
ln() shows ln() requires a dimensionless argument.
Autocomplete
With Autocomplete on (Math Format tab), typing the first letters of a function or an existing name opens the suggestion list. Tab accepts; Escape dismisses.
