The Binary Math node takes two inputs as operands for various mathematical calculations determined in the Operation parameter (figure 1).

Binary Math Operation Parameters

Argument A - The first argument for the operation.

Argument B - The second argument for the operation.

Operation - The calculation to be performed on the arguments.

  • Add - Calculates the sum of A and B.
  • Divide - Divides A by B.
  • Exponential [a^b] - Raises A to the power of B
  • Logarithm [log_b(a)] - Computes the logarithm of A with B as the base.
  • Multiply - Computes the product of A and B.
  • Remainder (always positive) - Computes the remainder, always resulting in a positive value.
  • Remainder (keeps sign of a) - Computes the remainder while retaining the sign of A.
  • Subtract - Calculates the difference by subtracting B from A.
  • Maximum Value - Evaluates and outputs the larger of the two input values.
  • Minimum Value - Evaluates and outputs the smaller of the two input values.
  • Arc Tangent - : Trigonometric operation calculating the inverse tangent.
  • Cross Product - Computes the cross product of two vectors.
  • Dot Product - Computes the dot product of two vectors.
