Title: useful programmes?
Post by: 123abc on October 16, 2008, 04:02:47 pm: can anyone suggest some useful ti84 plus graphics calc programmes for specialist? i only got euler..but i heard slope field is useful as wel.. dont know where to get it tho..

Post by: shinny on October 24, 2008, 11:30:01 pm: Get an 89 :] Native CAS functions>any programs, mostly due to the fact they do individual steps for you often rather than doing an entire question which is quite useless...

EDIT: With the correct Arguments ofcourse

It may be in their respective core formats however there's a lot of programs for the 89 that aren't available for the N-spire.

Post by: shinny on October 26, 2008, 08:22:18 pm: I don't really use programs though on the 89...native CAS functions are able to do almost everything you want. Then with the rest, I (well, mostly Mao) programmed them on as functions and yeh =T
Title: Re: useful programmes?
Post by: Mao on October 26, 2008, 09:13:53 pm: i agree with that. I always use native functions where I can, there really aren't many good packages going around [that actually make any difference].
the only thing I use program for [which I programmed myself :P] are the iterative and repetitive stuff which I say "cbf" to by hand.

Post by: polky on October 26, 2008, 09:38:27 pm: What about those who don't have CAS calculators? Bit late to start learning how to use a CAS now :P

Anyone know where to get one of those programs that differentiates/integrates for you?

I think there was a thread about "Calculus Made Easy" - I think it can do it for you.

See attachment for program.

You're welcome if it works.
My apologies if it doesn't. :P
DISREGARD THAT. I SUCK __.

Post by: shinny on October 26, 2008, 09:47:37 pm: Erm, that program is made only for TI-89's which is a CAS calc =P Note the .89 extension ahaha

Oh oops. She wanted a non-CAS version didn't she.. I suck at being observant. :(
