Not quite.

As I said, I *did* import math, then tried to run sin(3), as an example. A
message came up that said that sin was an unknown variable. It wouldn't even
recognize it as a function, much less evaluate it with its intended
argument. And that is what prompted my question.

Fortunately others have read my question more carefully and supplied me with
useful answers.

Thanks anyway.
