[Determination of the Angular Unit]

The following three angular units (degrees, radians, and grads) can be specified.

• DEG (°) : Press ”00.

• RAD (rad): Press ”01.

• GRAD (g) : Press ”02.

[Selecting the Display Notation and Decimal Places]

Four display notation systems are used to display calculation results: Floating point; Fixed decimal point; Scientific notation; and Engineering notation.

• When the FIX, SCI, or ENG symbol is displayed, the number of decimal places (TAB) can be set to any value between 0 and 9. Displayed values will be reduced to the corresponding number of digits.

[Setting the Floating Point Numbers System in Scientific Notation]

Two settings are used to display a floating point number: NORM1 (default setting) and NORM2. A number is automatically displayed in scientific notation outside a preset range:

• NORM1: 0.000000001 ≤

• NORM2: 0.01 ≤

x ≤ 9999999999

SCIENTIFIC CALCULATIONS

• Press m0 to select the normal mode.

• In each example, press ª to clear the display. If the FIX, SCI, or ENG indicator is displayed, clear the indicator by selecting ‘NORM1’ from the SET UP menu.

Arithmetic Operations

• The closing parenthesis ) just before = or ; may be omitted.

Constant Calculations

• In constant calculations, the addend becomes a constant. Subtraction and division are performed in the same manner. For multiplication, the multiplicand becomes a constant.

• In the constants calculations, constants will be displayed as K.

Functions

• Refer to the calculation examples of each function.

• Before starting calculations, specify the angular unit.

Differential/Integral Functions

Differential and integral calculations are only available in the normal mode. For calculation conditions such as the x ential calculation or the initial point in integral calculation, only numerical values can be entered and equations such as 22 cannot be specified. It is possible to reuse the same equation over and over again and to recalculate by only changing the conditions without re-entering the equation.

• Performing a calculation will clear the value in the X memory. When performing a differential calculation, enter the formula first and

• then enter the x value in differential calculation and the minute interval (dx). If a numerical value is not specified for minute interval,

x

×10–5 and x=0 will be 10–5 from the value of the numeric derivative.

• When performing an integral calculation, enter the formula first and then enter a range of integral (a, b) and subintervals (n). If a numerical value is not specified for subintervals, calculation will be performed using n=100.

Since differential and integral calculations are performed based on the following equations, correct results may not be obtained, in certain rare cases, when performing special calculations that contain discontinuous points.

Integral calculation (Simpson’s rule):

S=—h{ƒ(a)+4{ƒ(a+h)+ƒ(a+3h)+······+ƒ(a+(N–1)h)}

+2{ƒ(a+2h)+ƒ(a+4h)+······+ƒ(a+(N–2)h)}+f(b)}

f(x+ ––)–f(x – ––)

Differential calculation:

f’(x)=————————

The Random function has four settings for use in the normal, statistics, matrix and list modes. (This function cannot be selected while using the N-Base function.) To generate further random numbers in

In the binary, pental, octal, and hexadecimal systems, fractional parts cannot be entered. When a decimal number having a fractional part is converted into a binary, pental, octal, or hexadecimal number, the fractional part will be truncated. Likewise, when the result of a binary, pental, octal, or hexadecimal calculation includes a fractional part, the fractional part will be truncated. In the binary, pental, octal, and hexadecimal systems, negative numbers are displayed as a complement.

Time, Decimal and Sexagesimal Calculations

Conversion between decimal and sexagesimal numbers can be performed, and, while using sexagesimal numbers, conversion to seconds and minutes notation. The four basic arithmetic operations and memory calculations can be performed using the sexagesimal system. Notation for sexagesimal is as follows:

Modify Function

Calculation results are internally obtained in scientific notation with up to 14 digits for the mantissa. However, since calculation results are displayed in the form designated by the display notation and the number of decimal places indicated, the internal calculation result may differ from that shown in the display. By using the modify function, the internal value is converted to match that of the display, so that the displayed value can be used without change in subsequent operations.

Solver Function

The x value can be found that reduces an entered equation to “0”.

• This function uses Newton's method to obtain an approximation. Depending on the function (e.g. periodic) or start value, an error may occur (Error 2) due to there being no convergence to the solution for the equation.

• The value obtained by this function may include a margin of error. If it is larger than acceptable, recalculate the solution after changing ‘Start’ and dx values.

• Change the ‘Start’ value (e.g. to a negative value) or dx value (e.g. to a smaller value) if:

• no solution can be found (Error 2).

• more than two solutions appear to be possible (e.g. a cubic

equation).

• to improve the arithmetic precision.

• The calculation result is automatically stored in the X memory.

Returns a matrix with dimensions changed as specified.

)Fills each element with a specified value.

Returns the cumulative matrix. Appends the second matrix to the first matrix as new

columns. The first and second matrices must have the same number of rows.

Returns the identity matrix with specified value of rows and columns.

)Returns a random matrix with specified values of

rows and columns. Returns the determinant of a square matrix. Returns the matrix with the columns transposed to

rows and the rows transposed to columns. Creates lists with elements from the left column of each

matrix. (matA→L1, matB→L2, matC→L3, matD→L4) Mode changes from matrix mode to list mode.

Creates lists with elements from each column of the matrix. (matA→L1, L2, L3, L4) Mode changes from matrix mode to list mode.
