You can modify a keyword’s functionality by using arguments or modifiers or both. For example, in float, 7, 7 is the argument.

A list of operations you can perform with symbolic keywords and modifiers follows:

• Calculus operations

• Factoring and expanding expressions

• Simplifying and rewriting expressions

• Operations on variables
