TI-89 question
    #7883144 -

Hey dudes.

Donno where else to put this so I thought that the pub might be the most suitable place :smile:

It's regarding the configuration of TI-89.

For instance, when I calculate 600*10^-4 it'll respond with fractions "3/50".

If I type 600.*10^-4, i will get a float response of ".06"

Is there a way to configure this thing so I always get a floatnumber response without having to use ex: 600.?

I wish my ti-83 responded with fractions.

Can't you set it in the 'mode' part of the calculator (thats where you change shit like that on the ti-83).

If not, theres most definitely a button on your calculator that either fractulates shit or decimalizes shit.. I have a casio scientific calculator that does fractions and it has a button for converting between the 2 :laugh:

yap you can change mode from decimal to fraction.. and you can always convert using the math->frac function

i'm actually gonna sell my calc soon.. no more math classes WHOOP!

how much :naughty: ?

And what does the ti-89 have over the ti-83?

I got about another 4+ years of maths ahead of me :laugh:

Wow, TI-89. Blast from the Past.

I've been browsing through the mode-pages, and there are some settings for floats and fixes, but nothing much happens :sad:

In case you havent got it yet, you need to change the setting to 'approximate' instead of 'exact'.

The Ti-89 has a CAS.  Thats a computer algebra system.  Basically it allows you to do symbolic differentiation and integration (if a closed form solution exists), and other symbolic mathematics.  You can do math with variables instead of numbers.

EDIT- you should be aware that many schools do not allow you to use the 89 on a test for your introductory calculus and differential equation classes.  They dont allow any calculator with a CAS, generally.  Make sure you check what is allowed.  I simply have a second calculator if my more powerful one is not allowed.

The TI89 saves me a shitload of time when doing calculations for engineering.  Specially for a poor sap like me who can't do math! :smile:
