Matemática 2
Matemática modules contain most of the mathematical functions that one would need to work from basic algebra to more complex operations. The five modules have been divided (more or less) in order to make each module target a specific subject and work independently of other modules. Release notes: Many errors were fixed, handlers were added and optimized, and there should be an increase in the speed of some computations. International support for numbers has been added and modules now accept numbers as text or numbers. Users of previous versions are urged to upgrade.
