This is driving me mad Kapil. First off many thanks for this great tip. Much appreciated. But I have a problem. How will I convert from degrees to radians? Also sine and cosine are to be given as s() and c(). http://www.gnu.org/software/bc/manual/html_node/bc_18.html That is not driving me mad. But how to ask for sin(30), sin(60), sin(90) in degrees to radians? Is there a simple math formula or will the same bc do it for me in non interactive mode(converting deg to radians and vice versa) ? Apropos of that, we can use expr for non interactive math. You don't have exponentiation though. Also use \ before a * for multiplication!
