Functions
List of functions recognized by the math engine
List of Supported Functions
The following is a list of functions recognized by the MathMatize math engine. Note that typing the function in the math input field triggers a macro that properly escapes the function name. When properly escaped the function name is printed in an upright serif font (MathMatize conventions). However, when copying and pasting text (and sometimes when an expression is edited after initial input) the macro can fail to trigger. In this case, the function name will be rendered in an italic sans serif font. MathMatize will warn the user to retype the unescaped function name if it is intended to be parsed as a function otherwise it will be interpreted as an implicitly multiplied product. Besides these supported functions, custom functions can also be defined and used within the scope of each MathMatize exercise.
Trigonometric Functions
All trigonometric ratio functions assume an argument that is in radians. To input an angle in degrees enter the degree symbol following the angle.
sin : sine function
cos : cosine function
tan : tangent function
sec : secant function
csc : cosecant function
cot : cotangent function
arcsin : inverse sine function
arccos : inverse cosine function
arctan : inverse tangent function
arcsec : inverse secant function
arccsc : inverse cosecant function
arccot : inverse cotangent function
Hyperbolic Trigonometric Functions
sinh : hyperbolic sine
cosh : hyperbolic cosine
tanh : hyperbolic tangent
arcsinh : inverse hyperbolic sine
arccosh : inverse hyperbolic cosine
arctanh : inverse hyperbolic tangent
Logarithmic and Exponential Functions
log : logarithm base 10
ln : natural logarithm (base e)
log_x : logarithm base x
exp : exponent
Functions of Complex Variables
Re : return the real part of a complex number
Im : return the imaginary part of a complex number
conj : return the complex conjugate of a complex number
abs : return the modulus of a complex number
Arg : return the argument of a complex number
Matrix Functions
det : determinant
tr : trace
transpose : take the transpose of a matrix A by typing A^T
Integer Functions
lcm : returns the least common multiple of 2 or more values lcm(x1, x2, [x3, ...])
gcd : returns greatest common divisor of 2 or more values gcd(x1, x2, [x3, ...])
isPrime : is prime.
round : round to nearest integer
factorial : take the factorial of n by typing n!
choose : choose. The number of unordered sets of k elements chosen from n elements
Elementary Functions
max : maximum. Returns the maximum of one or more values. max(x1, [x2, ...])
min : minimum. Returns the minimum of one or more values. min(x1, [x2, ...])
abs : absolute value. Can also be written as abs(x) of |x|
sqrt : square root. Take the nth-root by typing \sqrt[n]
mod : infix binary operator returns the modulus, i.e. the remainder of an integer division.
