If I do this in Calc mode:
' 7i-2
It will enter the symbolic algebraic term 7i - 2
, which is displayed like so:
--- Emacs Calculator Mode ---
1: 7 i - 2
.
However, if I run A
(calc-abs
), I only see this:
--- Emacs Calculator Mode ---
1: abs(7 i - 2)
.
In reality, the absolute value of 7i - 2
is sqrt(53)
. How can I get such a result to show up in Calc mode?
