Special functions in Mathematica

Here is a list of various functions that Mathematica has already defined for you. This page will grow as the semester continues.

Trigonometric functions:

• Sin[x] gives the sine of x in radians.
• Cos[x] gives the cosine of x in radians.
• Tan[x] gives the tangent of x in radians.

Exponentiation and logarithms:

• Exp[x] gives e to the power x.
• Log[x] gives the natural logarithm of x.

Square roots:

• Sqrt[x] gives the square root of x.

Other parts of the Mathematica tutorial:

• Mathematica's user interface
• Simple calculations
• Plotting lists of points
• Plotting functions
• Combining two or more plots
• Fitting data to polynomials
• Generating and manipulating lists of numbers
• Complex numbers
• Derivatives and integrals
