MySQL Math functions to use in queries to handle table data

We can use various mathematical functions available in MySQL queries to handle data. We can combine these functions with other SQL operations to perform complex calculations within our queries.

Functions	Description
ABS	Absolute value of a number
ACOS	Arc cos of the input
ASIN	Arc sin of the input
ATAN	Arc tan of the input
ATAN2	Arc tan of two inputs
AVG	We can get the average value of a range of data by using avg function.
CEIL	Math ceil function to get lowest integer value.
CONV()	Convert one base to another
COS()	COS() function takes input in Radian
COT()	COT() function takes input in Radian
COUNT	Counting the number of records in a table with conditions
CRC32()	CRC32() returns 32 bit unsigned value of a string
DEGREES	Convert Radian value to Degree
EXP	e raised to the power of X
FLOOR	Math floor function to get highest integer value.
LN	Log of the number (Same as LOG())
LOG	Log of the number with different Base value
LOG10	Log of the number with fixed Base 10 value
LOG2	Log of the number with fixed Base 2 value
MAX	Maximum value from a field of MySQL table by using max command
MIN	Minimum value among records by using MIN Query
Mod	Getting the reminder of a division and using in our Query
PI	PI() value with different functions
POW	Power of a number & creating a square table
RADIANS	Converting Degree to Radians in our Query
ROUND	Rounded to decimals
SIGN	Sign of the argument
SIN	Sin of a radian input
SUM	Our query can return sum of numeric data present in a record
TAN	Tan of a radian input
Second highest	WE can display first and second highest number present in table by using limit and order by commands
Data format	Getting the formatted output from MySQL table by using format query.
sqrt	Square root of number
TRUNCATE	Converting to fixed decimal value
STDDEV()	Standard Deviation
VARIANCE()	Variance

Find out non-numeric values present in a Column by using CONCAT
