aplet

A small application, limited to one

 

topic. The built-in aplet types are

 

Function, Parametric, Polar, Sequence,

 

Solve, and Statistics. An aplet can be

 

filled with the data and solutions for a

 

specific problem. It is reusable (like a

 

program, but easier to use) and it records

 

all your settings and definitions.

command

An operation for use in programs.

 

Commands can store results in

 

variables, but do not display results.

 

Arguments are separated by semi-

 

colons, such as DISP expression;line#.

expression

A number, variable, or algebraic

 

expression (numbers plus functions)

 

that produces a value.

function

An operation, possibly with arguments,

 

that returns a result. It does not store

 

results in variables. The arguments must

 

be enclosed in parentheses and

 

separated with commas (or periods in

 

Comma mode), such as

 

CROSS(matrix1,matrix2).

HOME

The basic starting point of the

 

calculator. Go to HOME to do

 

calculations.

Library

For aplet management: to start, save,

 

reset, send and receive aplets.

list

A set of values separated by commas

 

(periods if the Decimal Mark is Comma)

 

and enclosed in braces. Lists are

 

commonly used to enter statistical data

 

and to evaluate a function with multiple

 

values. Created and manipulated by the

 

List editor and catalog.

matrix

A two-dimensional array of values

 

separated by commas (periods if the

 

Decimal Mark is Comma) and enclosed

 

in nested brackets. Created and

 

manipulated by the Matrix catalog and

 

editor. Vectors are also handled by the

 

Matrix catalog and editor.
