Units
Reading time: 1minUnit of angle: As with a handheld calculator, in CalcMe, you can work with angles in one of two modes:
-
RAD
: radians. A turn is 2π. This is the default mode. -
DEG
: degrees. A turn is 360º.
Whether CalcMe will use radians or degrees to evaluate trigonometric expressions when the unit is not specified (therefore, sin(90°) and sin(π2 rad) will be the same regardless of this option, but the result of sin(90) will depend on which option has been selected here). The result of inverse trigonometric functions will also have this unit. Notice that this change also affects plots, integrals, and derivatives of trigonometric functions.

When you use a direct trigonometric function (e.g., sin(2)
), the input angle is assumed to be in radians or degrees, according to the mode. When using an inverse trigonometric function (e.g., arcsin(0.5)
) the result angle should also be interpreted according to the mode. See the trigonometric functions section. Commands argument()
and polar()
for complex numbers are like arctan()
, and their results are also according to the mode.
In direct trigonometric functions, an input angle with the symbol º
will always be interpreted as degrees
regardless of the mode. The result angles will never have the symbol º
, even in DEG
mode.
