Order Of Evaluation; Built-In Multiplan Operations - Tandy 600 Owner's Manual

Order of Evaluation
Within a formula, mathematical operations are performed from left to
right. Parenthetical operations are performed first. When parentheses are
nested, the innermost operations are performed first. Otherwise, arithmetic
and comparison operations are performed in the following order:

Built-In Multiplan Operations
Following is a complete list of the complex built-in operations that
Multiplan can perform. Operations are entered as part ofa formula. Items
enclosed by parentheses follow the operation names. Do not type a space
before the left parenthesis. Items in parentheses consist of:
In addition to simple arithmetic and comparison operations, Multiplan can
perform more complex operations that perform several internal
calculations within a formula. The most common algebraic and
trigonometric, logical, conversion, statistical, financial, and control
operations are built into Multiplan.
