Short for 'logarithm,' the log button gives you the power a number must be raised to get another number. To make this number longer, enter '9' to change the calculator to '1.e+9,' which is 1 with nine zeros following it (1,000,000,000), or one billion. For example, if you enter '1' and press the EXP button, the calculator shows '1.e+0' as the value. Short for 'exponential,' the EXP button is used to make entering larger numbers easier. eД®uler's number ( e) is an irrational mathematical number approximately equal to 2.71828 and helps find slopes in Calculus and when working with compound interest. COS, SIN, HYP, and TANД¬OS (cosine), Sin (Sine), HYP (hyperbolic), and TAN (tangent) are all used in trigonometric equations. Some calculators may also change the C to a CE button as numbers are entered. With some calculators, the CE button may not be visible until something is entered in the calculator. Calculators that have this key may also have a CE button (mentioned below). CД¬ is short for 'clear' and is a button used to clear all last numbers and totals.

For example, if you enter '2' in the calculator and then press this button, the value becomes ВЅ, which the calculator shows in decimal form as 0.5. The 1/x button places the number as the denominator (bottom) of a fraction and adds a '1' as the numerator (top). Get Pi value (3.14159.), up to the number of digits the calculator supports. The square root button gives you the square root of a number.

The left and right parentheses are used to handle the order of operation in an equation. On a software calculator, you can press Enter to get a total without pressing the = button.
