k Scientific Constants

Your calculator has 40 often-used scientific constants built in. Like π, each scientific constant has a unique display symbol. Scientific constants are supported in all modes, except for the BASE-N Mode.

AInputting a Scientific Constant

1.Press z to display the function menu.

2.On the menu, select “CONST”.

• This displays page 1 of the scientific constant menu.

There are five scientific command menu screens, and you can use c and f to navigate between them. For more information about scientific constants, see “List of Scientific Constants” on page 39.

3.Use c and f to scroll through the pages and display the one that contains the scientific constant you want.

4.Press the number key (from 1 to 8) that corresponds to the scientific constant you want to select.

This will input the scientific constant symbol that corresponds to the number key you press.
