Settings are available for both the entire note and on a variable-by-variable basis.
3x^2 instead of 3*x^2
3(4+3) instead of 3*(4+3)
(2+3)(3+4) instead of (2+3)*(3+4)
By default this capability is turned off. By turning on implicit multiplication you lose the ability to start variables with numbers. With implicit multiplication, 3x is considered 3*x; x3 is considered a variable.
Note Settings
Note settings are accessed by selecting the gear icon at the bottom of the note. These settings impact calculations throughout the entire note.Type
Choose between real (real number), sci (scientific notation), eng (engineering notation), frac (fractions), ft-in (feet-inch), or cmplx (complex number) output type for all non-integer and date calculations. Setting Type to real, sci, eng or frac will also impact calculated display format for matrices. real is the default.Decimal
Number of decimal places to display for calculated real numbers, scientific and engineering notation. Options include float (show as many places as calculated), or 0 through 10 fixed places. This setting also impacts decimal places displayed when calculating complex numbers, tables and matrices, as appropriate. float is the default.Fraction
Rounding for the fractional denominator. Options include x, xx, xxx, and xxxx (round to 1 through 4 places), 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 10, 100 and 1000. MathPoint will first round to this setting and then reduce the result to its lowest common denominator as appropriate. xxxx is the default.Complex
Display calculated complex numbers in rectangular (rect) or polar format. In addition option auto lets MathPoint decide based on the inputs. auto is the default.Strip Zeroes
Set to ON to always remove trailing zeroes from results. OFF, the default, always keeps trailing zeroes up to the number of places requested in the setting Decimal.Integer
Choose between dec (decimal), oct (octal), hex (hexadecimal) and bin (binary) output types for all integer calculations. dec is the default.Trig Mode
Choose between deg (degrees) and rad (radians) for all trigonometric calculations.Case
Indicates how to handle conflicts between variable names. Sometimes the variable "A" should be the same as the variable "a". In this instance the two variables are case insensitive. In other cases the variable "A" and "a" should be treated as two different variables, meaning that this note should be case sensitive. Choose A=a for case insensitive notes or A≠a for case sensitive notes. ? option, the default, means nothing has been set. In this case if a potential conflict is detected, MathPoint will ask.Implicit Multiply
Indicates whether to use implicit multiplication in formulas definitions. A few examples:3x^2 instead of 3*x^2
3(4+3) instead of 3*(4+3)
(2+3)(3+4) instead of (2+3)*(3+4)
By default this capability is turned off. By turning on implicit multiplication you lose the ability to start variables with numbers. With implicit multiplication, 3x is considered 3*x; x3 is considered a variable.
