Arithmetic
This is a list of the arithmetic operations available on numbers in Maple. The `.` (dot) operator is used for non-commutative multiplication, for example for matrix multiplication. The operations iquo, irem, isqrt, igcd, and ilcm are integer operations only. Note that there is further help available for each operation.
a + b
addition
iquo(a,b)
quotient
a - b
subtraction
irem(a,b)
remainder
a * b
multiplication
a . b
non-commutative multiplication
isqrt(n)
square root
a / b
division
igcd(a,b)
greatest common divisor
a ^ b
exponentiation
ilcm(a,b)
least common multiple
signum(n)
sign of a number
n !
factorial
abs(n)
absolute value
min(a,b)
minimum
max(a,b)
maximum
See also the mod, modp, and mods commands. The mod operator evaluates the expression e over the integers modulo m. It incorporates facilities for doing finite field arithmetic and polynomial and matrix arithmetic over finite fields, including factorization.
