Trigonometric functions work with angles in radians, not degrees.
sin(), cos(), tan()
Converting Degrees to Radians
Converting Radians to Degrees
Note
Always convert degrees to radians before using trigonometric functions.
Logarithmic Functions
log()
Returns natural logarithm (base e).
log10()
Returns logarithm base 10.
Pro Tip
Use log10 for base 10 calculations and log for natural logarithm.
Exponential Functions
exp()
Returns e raised to power x.
Combining Concepts
Caution
Passing incorrect values such as negative numbers to log functions can result in errors.
Exercise
- Convert 60 degrees to radians and find sin value
- Calculate log10 of 1000
- Find exponential value of 3
- Convert pi radians to degrees
