    9. Math and Statistical Functions > General Math Functions

    General Math Functions

    Excel's Math & Trig category contains functions that go a step beyond the basic mathematical operators (like +,-, /, *, and ^) to help you figure out things like absolute values and greatest (and least) common denominators.

    Tip

    Poker fan alert: the COMBIN() and PERMUT() functions may help you keep your game sharp even when you're away from the table.

    This section covers 14 of the most commonly used functions in this category.

    PRODUCT(), FACT(), POWER(), and SQRT(): Products, Factorials,Powers, and Square Roots

    These four functions actually offer the same services provided by many of the simple operators covered in the last chapter, but, in some cases, they come with a few twists that may save you time.
