Trigonometric Functions

The trigonometric functions take radians as arguments.

Numbers provides these trigonometric functions.

SIGN (page 271)

Returns 1 when the argument is positive, –1 when the argument is
negative, and 0 when it’s zero.

SQRT (page 274)

Calculates the square root of a number.

SUM (page 277)

Calculates the sum of a set of numbers.

SUMIF (page 278)

Calculates the sum of a set of numbers that satisfy a specified
condition.

SUMPRODUCT (page 278)

Calculates the sum of the products of corresponding numbers in
two or more ranges.

SUMSQ (page 279)

Calculates the sum of the squares of a set of numbers.

TRUNC (page 283)

Truncates a decimal number to a specified number of digits.
