options above). Unselected options will show no check mark in the underline preceding the option of interest (e.g., the _Numeric, _Approx, _Complex, _Verbose, _Step/Step, _Incr Pow options above).
•After having selected and unselected all the options that you want in the CAS MODES input form, press the @@@OK@@@ soft menu key. This will take you back to the CALCULATOR MODES input form. To return to normal calculator display at this point, press the @@@OK@@@ soft menu key once more.
Explanation of CAS settings
•Indep var: The independent variable for CAS applications. Typically, VX = ‘X’.
•Modulo: For operations in modular arithmetic this variable holds the modulus or modulo of the arithmetic ring (see Chapter 5 in the calculator’s user’s guide).
•Numeric: If set, the calculator produces a numeric, or
•Approx: If set, Approximate mode uses numerical results in calculations. If unchecked, the CAS is in Exact mode, which produces symbolic results in algebraic calculations.
•Complex: If set, complex number operations are active. If unchecked the CAS is in Real mode, i.e., real number calculations are the default. See Chapter 4 for operations with complex numbers.
•Verbose: If set, provides detailed information in certain CAS operations.
•Step/Step: If set, provides
•Incr Pow: Increasing Power, means that, if set, polynomial terms are shown in increasing order of the powers of the independent variable.
•Rigorous: If set, calculator does not simplify the absolute value function X to X.
