# Other Calculation Functions
There are other functions that can help you create complicated calculations.
Other calculation functions
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Exponentiation ( X^2 )" %}
Exponentiation is a **mathematical operation** where a number (called the **base**) is multiplied by itself a certain number of times. Formula -> **COLUMN\_NAME \*\* EXPONENT**
Exponentiation
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Square Root ( √ ) " %}
The **square root of a number** is that factor of a number which when multiplied by itself gives the original number. Formula -> **RESULT = COLUMN\_NAME \*\* (1/2)**
Square root of a field
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Brackets ()" %}
These define the order in which operations are carried out based on **PEMDAS** or **BODMAS.** Illustrated below are the differences in the calculation **column + 10 \* 5** and **(column + 10) \* 5**
column + 10 *5
(column + 10) * 5
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="ABS (Absolute)" %}
This function is already well explained in [Absolute Function](/supertables/guides/setting-up-calculations/absolute-function.md)
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Round " %}
This function rounds off the result to the nearest whole number.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.infotopics.com/supertables/guides/setting-up-calculations/other-calculation-functions.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
