Example
In the my.upload.sample.data table, we want to get the square root of all the values in the numbers_int field. To do it, we will create a new field using the Square root operation.
The arguments needed to create the new field are:
Value - numbers_int field

How does it work in LINQ?
Use the operator select... as... and add the operation syntax to create the new column. This is the syntax for the Square root operation:
sqrt(number)
Example
You can copy the following LINQ script and try the above example on the my.upload.sample.data table.
from my.upload.sample.data
select split(message, ";", 17) as numbers,
int(numbers) as numbers_int,
sqrt(numbers_int) as numbers_int_square
