PyCalc imports functions from the mpmath package and the math package. For a more complete list of functions, refer to the documentation for those packages. PyCalc modifies the trigonometric functions to support either radians or degrees mode, but otherwise relies on the standard mpmath functions.
These functions are only available if the startup.py file includes the line: from pycalcfun import *, which is present by default.
There are many more functions available in Python that you can access by importing the appropriate package. Refer to the Python documentation for more information.
