# Introduction to Probability and Statistics

problemNumber = 0; wl("<h3>Calculator</h3>"); writecalculator(“psetcheckcalcid”, “Calculate”); whr(kdivcol,kdivwid);

### Basic Arthmetic

You can do basic calculations like: `2+3, 2-3, 2*3, 3/2, 2^3, 5*(2-6).`

### Constants

The calculator knows the constants `pi` and `e`.

### Functions

You can use the functions `sin, cos, exp, log, log10`.

### Factorials

Conveniently it knows factorials, e.g. `5!`.

### Temporary variables

You can set the value of a variable and use it later. You do this by separating multiple expressions by semicolons.

Try the following:
`x=5; y=6; x*y x=3; y=x^2+1; z=(x+1)/y; z`

### Much More!

The features are quite extensive. See Mathjs documentation.
