> Allowing arcsin to be entered manually would be nice as well. Yes, I agree. As I said before, the documentation says that it is possible to enter "asin" which does however not work. So what about making the report specifically about this issue (and suggest arcsin instead of/in addition to "asin" which is more a programming language name)? > I'd like to add, that sin⁻¹(x) is not a very nice notation because it > conflicts with sin²(x) witch, I think, is much more common. Actually I do think it is ok as it is, IMO most people will read sin⁻¹(x) as arcsin and sin²(x) as the square of the function value -- to me the latter always felt "more wrong" (why not just write sin(x)² ?). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817709 Title: missing buttons: pi, arcsin, arccos, arctan, arsinh,...
