Buttons on the Calculator toolbar insert some of the basic trig functions and common operators. You can also type any operator using its keystroke and any function by typing the function name (for example, sin).

To learn what a button does, move the mouse over the button until a tooltip shows the title and a description appears on the message line of the Status Bar.
