Here is a brief description of the commands in the abakus interface.
Quit abakus
If checked, abakus will show the list of previous results.
If checked, abakus will show the list of variables.
If checked, abakus will show the list of functions.
If checked, abakus will select a precision automatically.
If checked, abakus will 8 decimal digits of precision (e.g. 1 / 3 = 0.333).
If checked, abakus will show 8 decimal digits of precision (e.g. 1 / 3 = 0.33333333).
If checked, abakus will show 15 decimal digits of precision.
If checked, abakus will show 50 decimal digits of precision.
This command will bring open a dialog allowing you to enter a custom precision level. abakus supports precision levels from 0 to 75 decimal digits.
This command is a shortcut to disable the Result, Function, and Variable views, so that abakus shows just the input line. In this mode, the answer is given in the input line instead of the Result list.
This command clears the Result view.
This command causes abakus to treat values for the trigonometric functions as angles measured in degrees (360 degrees make up a full circle).
The deriv()
function will not return correct
results for trigonometric functions in this mode.
This command causes abakus to treat values for the trigonometric functions as angles measured in radians (2 * π radians make up a full circle).
The deriv()
function only returns correct
results for trigonometric functions when in this mode.
This command enables RPN Mode.
