These beasts can work with scientific notation, logarithmic and trigonometric calculations, exponential functions, roots and powers, and other long complicated mathematical terms that many people have never even heard of.

科学计算器可以使用科学记法、和三角函计算、指函、根和幂，以及许多人从未听说过的其他冗长复杂的学术语。

Polynomials could also be used to approximate logarithmic and trigonometric functions, which are a real hassle to calculate by hand.

多项式可以用于近似和三角函这些函手算相当麻烦。

And more complex operations, like a trigonometric function, could take over a minute.

而更复杂的像三角函之类的操作，可过一分钟。

She told her principal and the Riverside Unified school district, she was acting out the SO-CHA-TO, an acronym for the three basic trigonometric functions.

她向河滨市统一学区及其校长解释，自己是在演示SO-CHA-TO， 即三个基本三角函的缩写。

He developed trigonometric methods to improve on Ptolemy's calculations and showed that the distance of the Sun from Earth varies over time.

他发展了三角学方法，改进了托勒密的计算，并证明了太阳与地球之间的距离随时间变化。

You can take the trigonometric derivatives that we talked about, and do those backward, too.

我们可以取我们讨论过的三角导 关于它，并反过来应用它。
