# Math API
Adalo natively provides a set of powerful arithmetic functions, like SQRT, LOG, and ABS, and we strongly recommend to use those whenever it suffices your needs. But in case your app requires more complex functions, Abracadalo provides you access to the magic of maths ✨.
# Calc
A very smart and powerful interpreter for mathmatical expressions. Pretty much every mathmatical function and concept is supported: trigonometry, complex numbers, matrices, unit conversions, and many more. Just give it a try!
