In the Liberty BASIC Helpfile, look in the category "Language Syntax and Usage" and find the sub-category called "Mathematics." The topics covered include: * Mathematics * Numeric Variables * Mathematical Operations * Trigonometry * Numbers and Strings * Date and Time Functions **Mathematics** tells you how to manipulate numbers and numeric expressions using arithmetic, including addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, absolute value and scientific notation. It also includes links to these individual math functions: * SIN * COS * TAN * ASN * ACS * ATN * ABS * EXP * LOG * HEXDEC * DECHEX$ * INT * MAX * MIN * MOD * RND * SQR * VAL * STR$ * USING **Numeric Variables** discusses numeric variable use, negative numbers as variables, and global variables. **Mathematical Operations** gives an overview of math operations, including ABS(), SQR(), EXP(), LOG(), INT(), MAX(), MIN(), MOD, RND() and RANDOMIZE **Trigonometry** shows you which trig functions are supported in Liberty BASIC and how to use them. It also discusses the conversion between degrees and radians. **Numbers and Strings** explains the ways numbers can be converted to string and vice versa, as well as formatting numbers with the USING() function. **Date and Time Functions** lists the various functions that return the system time, the date, and it explains how to do math on dates.
