lcm( ) MATH/Number menu lcm(number1, number2) ⇒ expression lcm(list1, list2) ⇒ list lcm(matrix1, matrix2) ⇒ matrix Returns the least common multiple of the two arguments. The lcm of two fractions is the lcm of their numerators divided by the gcd of their denominators. The lcm of fractional floatingpoint numbers is their product. lcm(6,9) ¸ 18 lcm({1/3,ë 14,16},{2/15,7,5}) ¸ {2/3 14 80} For two lists or matrices, returns the least common multiples of the corresponding elements. left( ) MATH/String menu left(sourceString[, num]) ⇒ string Returns the leftmost num characters contained in character string sourceString. If you omit num, returns all of sourceString. left(list1[, num]) ⇒ list Returns the leftmost num elements contained in list1. If you omit num, returns all of list1. left(comparison) ⇒ expression Returns the left-hand side of an equation or inequality. left("Hello",2) ¸ left({1,3,ë 2,4},3) ¸ left(x

Appendix A: Functions and Instructions

lcm()

MATH/Number menu

lcm(

number1

number2

)

⇒

expression

lcm(

list1

list2

)

⇒

list

lcm(

matrix1

matrix2

)

⇒

matrix

Returns the least common multiple of the two

arguments. The

lcm

of two fractions is the

lcm

their numerators divided by the

gcd

of their

denominators. The

lcm

of fractional floating-

point numbers is their product.

For two lists or matrices, returns the least

common multiples of the corresponding elements.

lcm(6,9)

lcm({1/3,

14,16},{2/15,7,5})

{2/3 14 80}

left()

MATH/String menu

left(

sourceString

[

num

]

)

⇒

string

Returns the leftmost

num

characters contained in

character string

sourceString

If you omit

num

, returns all of

sourceString

left("Hello",2)

"He"

left(

list1

[

num

]

)

⇒

list

Returns the leftmost

num

elements contained in

list1

If you omit

num

, returns all of

list1

left({1,3,

2,4},3)

{1 3

left(

comparison

)

⇒

expression

Returns the left-hand side of an equation or

inequality.

left(x<3)

limit()

MATH/Calculus menu

limit(

expression1

var

point

[

direction

]

)

⇒

expression

limit(

list1

var

point

[

direction

]

)

⇒

list

limit(

matrix1

var

point

[

direction

]

)

⇒

matrix

Returns the limit requested.

direction

: negative=from left, positive=from right,

otherwise=both. (If omitted,

direction

defaults to

both.)

limit(2x+3,x,5)

limit(1/x,x,0,1)

limit(sin(x)/x,x,0)

limit((sin(x+h)

sin(x))/h,h,0)

cos(x)

limit((1+1/n)^n,n,

)

Limits at positive

and at negative

are always

converted to one-sided limits from the finite side.

Depending on the circumstances,

limit()

returns

itself or

undef

when it cannot determine a unique

limit. This does not necessarily mean that a

unique limit does not exist.

undef

means that the

result is either an unknown number with finite or

infinite magnitude, or it is the entire set of such

numbers.
