Glossary

app	A small application, designed for the
	study of one or more related topics or
	to solve problems of a particular type.
	The built-in apps are Function,
	Advanced Graphing, Geometry,
	Spreadsheet, Statistics 1Var, Statistics
	2Var, Inference, DataStreamer, Solve,
	Linear Solver, Triangle Solver,
	Finance, Parametric, Polar, Sequence,
	Linear Explorer, Quadratic Explorer,
	and Trig Explorer. An app 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.
button	An option or menu shown at the
	bottom of the screen and activated by
	touch. Compare with key.
CAS	Computer Algebra System. Use the
	CAS to perform exact or symbolic
	calculations. Compare to calculations
	done in Home view, which often yield
	numerical approximations. You can
	share results and variables between
	the CAS and Home view (and vice
	versa).
catalog	A collection of items, such as
	matrices, lists, programs and the like.
	New items you create are saved to a
	catalog, and you choose a specific
	item from a catalog to work on it. A
	special catalog that lists the apps is
	called the Application Library.
