Besides the operators < tt > +< / tt > , < tt > -< / tt > , < tt > *< / tt > , < tt > /< / tt > , < tt > %< / tt > , < tt > ^< / tt > and the constants < tt > pi< / tt > and < tt > e< / tt > the following math functions are supported:< br / >
< tt > acos< / tt > , < tt > asin< / tt > , < tt > atan< / tt > , < tt > atan2< / tt > , < tt > ceil< / tt > , < tt > cos< / tt > , < tt > cosh< / tt > , < tt > exp< / tt > , < tt > floor< / tt > , < tt > log< / tt > , < tt > log10< / tt > , < tt > pow< / tt > , < tt > sin< / tt > , < tt > sinh< / tt > , < tt > sqrt< / tt > , < tt > tan< / tt > , < tt > tanh< / tt > .< / p > < / li >

< li > < p > When it comes to user input, DeskCalc is quite tolerant:< br / >
< tt > /< / tt > , < tt > :< / tt > , < tt > \< / tt > are all interpreted as division operators,< br / >
< tt > *< / tt > , < tt > x< / tt > are valid symbols for multiplication.< br / >
Also, be aware that < tt > .< / tt > and < tt > ,< / tt > are both considered floating points, which means you mustn't use them as 1000 separators.< / p > < / li >
< li > < p > Right-clicking offers these options:< / p >

< p > Even better, the reverse is also possible:< br / >
Create clippings as described at various stages of your calculation and go back to them by drag& dropping them back into DeskCalc.< br / >
Or you drag& drop a calculation directly out of an email onto DeskCalc.< / p > < / li >
