These functions are also listed in the context menu of the Commands window. Any functions not contained in the Elements window need to be typed manually in the Commands window.The following is a list of all functions that appear in the Elements window. The icon next to the function indicates that it can be accessed through the Elements window (menu View - Elements) or through the context menu of the Commands window.List of functions
IconNatural Exponential FunctionInserts a natural exponential function. You can also type func e^<?> directly in the Commands window.
IconNatural LogarithmInserts a natural (base e) logarithm with one placeholder. You can also type ln(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconExponential FunctionInserts an exponential function with one placeholder. You can also type exp(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconLogarithmInserts a common (base 10) logarithm with one placeholder. You can also type log(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconPowerUFI: removed help idInserts x raised to the yth power. You can also type <?>^{<?>} in the Commands window. You can replace the ^ character with rsup or sup.
IconSineInserts a sine function with one placeholder. You can also type sin(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconCosineInserts a cosine function with one placeholder. You can also type cos(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconTangentInserts a tangent function with one placeholder. You can also type tan<?>) in the Commands window.
IconCotangentInserts a cotangent symbol with a placeholder. You can also type cot(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconHyperbolic SineInserts a hyperbolic sine with one placeholder. You can also type sinh(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconSquare RootInserts a square root symbol with one placeholder. You can also type sqrt(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconHyperbolic CosineInserts a hyperbolic cosine symbol with one placeholder. You can also type cosh(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconHyperbolic TangentInserts a hyperbolic tangent symbol with one placeholder. You can also type tanh(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconHyperbolic CotangentInserts a hyperbolic cotangent symbol with one placeholder. You can directly type coth(<?>) in the Commands window.
Iconnth RootInserts an nth root function with two placeholders. You can also type nroot n x in the Commands window.
IconArc SineInserts an arc sine function with one placeholder. You can also type arcsin(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconArc CosineInserts an arc cosine symbol with one placeholder. You can also type arccos(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconArc TangentInserts an arc tangent function with one placeholder. You can also type arctan(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconArc CotangentInserts an arc cotangent function with one placeholder. You can directly type arccot(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconAbsolute ValueInserts an absolute value sign with one placeholder. You can also type abs(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconArea Hyperbolic SineInserts an area hyperbolic sine function with one placeholder. You can also type arsinh(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconArea Hyperbolic CosineInserts an area hyperbolic cosine function with one placeholder. You can also type arcosh(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconArea Hyperbolic TangentInserts an area hyperbolic tangent function with one placeholder. You can also type artanh(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconArea Hyperbolic CotangentInserts an area hyperbolic cotangent function with one placeholder. You can also type arcoth(<?>) in the Commands window.
IconFactorialInserts the factorial sign with one placeholder. You can directly type fact <?> in the Commands window.
You can also assign an index or an exponent to a function. For example, typing sin^2x results in in a function "sine to the power of 2x".When typing functions manually in the Commands window, note that spaces are required for some functions (for example, abs 5=5 ; abs -3=3).
