Maths Expression Pow

Is there a way of writing pow in the maths expression patch? I thought it was written pow(x,2) in javascript but this doesnt work for me

cos(t) * sqrt(pow2(cos(t)))

Any ideas where I am going wrong

Are you using Math Expression, or Javascript?

In JS, you need to use the Math object (Math.cos(), Math.sin(), Math.pow(), etc).

In Math Expression, you use the ^ operator (3^3 = 27)

ok I see now, thanks for clearing that up

Math Expression wouldn't something like

sin(t) * sqrt(sin(t*t))

cos(t) * sqrt(cos(t*t))

work?

I'm thinking cos(t)^2 wouldn't be the same as cos(t^2), but I may have let my trig identities rot over the past decade... ;)

Succinct :-).
