About This Users Guide The four digit boldface example numbers (such as 0201 ) that appear in Chapters 2 through 14 indicate

operation examples that can be found in the separate Examples booklet. You can use the Examples booklet in conjunction with this manual by referring to the applicable example numbers.

In this manual, cursor key operations are indicated as f, c, d, e (1-1 General Guide).

Chapter 1: Basics12

Chapter 1: Basics This chapter provides a general overview of the ClassPad and application operations, as well as information about input operations, the handling of data (variables and folders), file operations, and how to configure application format settings.

1-1 General Guide

Chapter 1: Basics13

Turning Power On or Off While the ClassPad is turned off, press c to turn it on.

To turn off the ClassPad, press f and then c.

Auto Power Off The ClassPad also has an Auto Power Off feature. This feature automatically turns the ClassPad off when it is idle for a specified amount of time. For details, see To configure power properties on page 282.

Note Any temporary information in ClassPad RAM (graphs drawn on an applications graph window, a dialog box displayed, etc.) is retained for approximately 30 seconds whenever power is turned off manually or by Auto Power Off. This means you will be able to restore the temporary information in RAM if you turn ClassPad back on within about 30 seconds after it is turned off. After about 30 seconds, the temporary information in RAM is cleared automatically, so turning ClassPad back on will display the startup screen of the application you were using when you last turned it off, and the previous information in RAM will no longer be available. In the Exam Mode, temporary information in RAM is not cleared after 30 seconds after power is turned off.

1-2 Power Supply Your ClassPad is powered by four AAA-size batteries LR03 (AM4), or four nickel-metal hydride batteries.

The battery level indicator is displayed in the status bar.

full medium low dead

Important!

Be sure to replace batteries as soon as possible whenever the battery level indicator shows (low).

Replace batteries immediately whenever the battery level indicator shows (dead). At this level, you will not be able to perform data communication or other functions.

For information about initial setup operations required after replacing batteries, see Loading Batteries and Setting Up the ClassPad in the separate Quick Start Guide.

When battery power is very low, your ClassPad may not turn back on when you press its c key. If this happens, immediately replace its batteries.

The following message indicates that batteries are about to go dead. Replace batteries immediately whenever this message appears.

If you try to continue using the ClassPad, it will automatically turn off. You will not be able to turn power back on until you replace batteries.

Be sure to replace batteries at least once a year, no matter how much you use the ClassPad during that time.

Note: The batteries that come with the ClassPad discharge slightly during shipment and storage. Because of this, they may require replacement sooner than the normal expected battery life.

Backing Up Data ClassPad data can be converted to a VCP file or XCP file and transferred to a computer for storage. For details, see 19-2 Performing Data Communication between the ClassPad and a Personal Computer.

Chapter 1: Basics16

Application Window The following shows the basic configuration of a built-in application window.

Menu bar

Tool bar

Application window(s)

Soft keyboard See page 18.

Status bar See page 17.

Upper window

Lower window

Many applications split the display between an upper window and a lower window, each of which shows different information. When using two windows, the currently selected window (the one where you can perform operations) is called the active window. The menu bar, toolbar, and status bar contents are all applicable to the active window. The active window is indicated by a thick boundary around it.

You can perform the operations below on an Application window.

To do this: Perform this operation:

Switch the active window While a dual window is on the display, tap anywhere inside the window that does not have a thick boundary around it to make it the active window. Note that you cannot switch the active window while an operation is being performed in the current active window.

Resize the active window so it fills the display

While a dual window is on the display, tap r. This causes the active window to fill the display. To return to the dual window display, tap r again.

Swap the upper and lower windows

While a dual window is on the display, tap S. This causes the upper window to become the lower window, and vice versa. Swapping windows does not have any effect on their active status. If the upper window is active when you tap S for example, that window will remain active after it becomes the lower window.

Close the active windows While a dual window is on the display, tap C at the top right corner of the window to close the active window. This will cause the other (inactive) window to fill the display.

Tip: When you tap the r icon while a dual window is on the display, the currently active window will fill the display, but the other (inactive) window does not close. It remains open, hidden behind the active window. This means you can tap S to bring the hidden window forward and make it the active window, and send the current active window to the background.

u Changing the Display Orientation (Application Menu and Some Applications Only)

You can change the display orientation to horizontal while any one of the following is displayed: application menu, or the Main, Graph & Table, Conics, or Physium application. Tap g to switch to horizontal (landscape)

display orientation. To return to vertical (portrait) display orientation, tap g again.

Soft Keyboard Key Sets The soft keyboard has a variety of different key sets that support various data input needs. Each of the available key sets is shown below.

[Math1], [Math2], [Math3], [Trig] (trigonometric), [Advance] key sets

These key sets include keys for inputting functions, operators, and symbols required for numerical formulas.

Math1 Math2 Math3

Chapter 1: Basics19

Trig Advance

For details above the above key sets, see Using Math, Trig, and Advance Key Sets (page 23).

[Var] (variable) key set This key set includes only keys for the input of single-character variables. For more information, see Using Single-character Variables (page 25).

[abc] key set Use this key set to input alphabetic characters. Tap one of the tabs along the top of the keyboard (along the right when using horizontal display orientation) to see additional characters, for example, tap [Math]. For more information, see Using the Alphabet Keyboard (page 26).

[Catalog] key set This key set provides a scrollable list that can be used to input built-in functions, built-in commands, system variables, and user-defined functions. Tap a command to select it and then tap it again to insert it. Selecting an item from the Form list changes the available commands. For more information, see Using the Catalog Keyboard (page 27).

[Number] key set This key set provides the same keys as those on the keypad. Use this key set when you want to use only the touch screen for input or in place of the keypad while using horizontal (landscape) display orientation.

Input Basics This section includes a number of examples that illustrate how to perform basic input procedures. All of the procedures assume the following.

The Main application is running. See Built-in Applications (page 14).

The soft keyboard is displayed. See Using the Soft Keyboard (page 18).

Chapter 1: Basics20

k Inputting a Calculation Expression

You can input a calculation expression just as it is written, and press the E key to execute it. The ClassPad automatically determines the priority sequence of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and parenthetical expressions.

Example: To simplify 2 + 3 4 + 10

uUsing the keypad keys

cz2+3-4+10E

If the line where you want to input the calculation expression already contains input, be sure to press c to clear it.

uUsing the soft keyboard

Tap the keys of the [Number] keyboard to input the calculation expression.

c4-c+d-e+baw

As shown in the above Example, you can input simple arithmetic calculations using either the keypad keys or the soft keyboard. Input using the soft keyboard is required to input higher level calculation expressions, functions, variables, etc. See Chapter 2 for more information about inputting expressions.

Tip: In some cases, the input expression and output expression (result) may not fit in the display area. If this happens, tap the left or right arrows that appear on the display to scroll the expression screen and view the part that does not fit.

You can also change the display orientation to horizontal (landscape) for easier-to-read display of long input formulas and calculation results. See Changing the Display Orientation (page 16).

kEditing Input

uTo delete a single character

Move the cursor so it is directly to the right of the character you want to delete, and then press K. Each press of K deletes one character to the left of the cursor.

Example: To change the expression 369 2 to 369 2

1. c369**2

2. dK

After you make all of the changes you want, press E to calculate the result. To add more characters to the calculation, press e to move the cursor to the end of the calculation, and input what you want.

Tip: You can move the cursor without using the cursor key by tapping at the destination with the stylus. This causes the cursor to jump to the location where you tap.

uTo insert new input into the middle of an existing calculation expression

Use d or e to move the cursor to the location where you want to insert new input, and then input what you want.

Chapter 1: Basics21

Example: To change 302 to sin(30)2 (For input, use the keypad and the [Math1] soft keyboard set.)

1. c30x

2. dddds

3. ee)

uTo replace a range of input with new input

After you drag the stylus across the range of input that you want to replace, enter the new input.

Example: To change 1234567 to 10567

1. c1234567

2. Drag the stylus across 234 to select it.

3. 0

k Using the Clipboard for Copy and Paste

You can copy (or cut) a function, command, or other input to the ClassPads clipboard, and then paste the clipboard contents at another location. Performing a copy or cut operation causes the current clipboard contents to be replaced by the newly copied or cut characters.

uTo copy characters

1. Drag the stylus across the characters you want to copy to select them.

2. On the soft keyboard, tap p. Or tap the [Edit] menu and then tap [Copy].

This puts a copy of the selected characters onto the clipboard.

uTo cut characters

1. Drag the stylus across the characters you want to cut to select them.

2. Tap the [Edit] menu and then tap [Cut].

This causes the selected characters to be deleted, and moves them onto the clipboard.

uTo paste the clipboard contents

1. Move the cursor to the location where you want to paste the clipboard contents.

2. On the soft keyboard, tap q. Or tap the [Edit] menu and then tap [Paste].

This pastes the clipboard contents at the current cursor location.

Tip: The clipboard contents remain on the clipboard after you paste them. This means you can paste the current contents as many times as you like.

Copying and pasting in the message box

The message box is a 1-line input and display area under the Graph window (see Chapter 3).

You can use the two buttons to the right of the message box to copy the message box contents (p button), or to paste the clipboard contents to the message box (q button). Copy and paste are performed the same way as the copy and paste operations using the soft keyboard.

Message box

Chapter 1: Basics22

kCopying with Drag and Drop

You can also copy a string of text by simply selecting it and then dragging it to another location that allows text input.

Example 1: To use the Main application to perform the calculation 15 + 6 2, edit to (15 + 6) 2, and then re-calculate

1. In the Main application work area, perform the calculation below.

c15+6*2E

2. Drag across the 15 + 6 2 expression to select it, and then drag the expression to the .

This will copy 15 + 6 2 to the location where you dropped it.

3. Add parentheses before and after 15 + 6 and then press E.

Tip: You can use drag and drop to copy both input formulas and calculation results.

Example 2: To copy an expression you input with the Main application to the Graph Editor window

1. In the Main application work area, input: 2x^2 + 2x 1.

c2x{2+2x-1E

2. On the right end of the toolbar, tap the down arrow button. On the button palette that appears, tap !.

This will display the Graph Editor window in the bottom half of the screen.

3. Select the 2x^2 + 2x 1 expression you input with the Main application by dragging across it, and then drag the expression to the located to the right of y1: on the Graph Editor window.

This will copy 2x^2 + 2x 1 to the location where you dropped it.

Tip An expression you copy using the operation above is registered to the Graph Editor

window of the Graph & Table application. For information about Graph Editor window operations, see Chapter 3.

Depending on the destination to which you drag a character string or an expression, the drop operation may cause it to be converted automatically to a graph or a figure. For example, dropping the expression in Example 2 into the Graph window will graph the expression. Refer to the locations provided below to see examples using drag and drop.

k Template Input and Line Input

ClassPad supports two different input methods: template input and line input. Template input lets you input fractions, powers, and other functions using formats that are the same as those in textbooks. Line input uses a linear format for inputting expressions.

2+( )2'2 '2+ 1

2

2+ (2 (2) / ( (2) + 1))^2

Template Input Line Input

Chapter 1: Basics25

uSwitching between Template Input and Line Input

Tap the L key. Each toggles the key color between white (L) and light blue ( ). A white key indicates the template input mode, while a light blue key indicates the line input mode.

In the template input mode, you can perform template input using keys with or marked on their key tops,

such as N and !. Other keys input the same functions or commands as they do in the line mode.

Example 1: To use the template input mode to input

1. Tap the [Math1] tab and then enter the template input mode (white L key).

2. Perform the key operation below:

2+(N2!2c!2e+1

eem2E

Example 2: To use the line input mode to input the same expression as in Example 1 (2+ (2 (2) / ( (2) + 1))^2)

1. Tap the [Math1] tab and then enter the line input mode (light blue key).

2. Perform the key operation below:

2+(d2!2)N

(!2)+1)ewE

Example 3: To use the template input mode to input

1. Tap the [Math2] tab and then enter the template input mode (white L key).

2. Perform the key operation below:

2. Perform the key operation below:

7(1-xm2e)Qxeex

3. Tap the upper right input box of and then press 1. Next, tap the lower right input box of and then press 0.

4. To execute the calculation, press E.

Tip: For information about the contents and input formats of the functions in Example 3 and Example 4, see 2-7 Using the Action Menu (page 61).

k Using Single-character Variables

As its name suggests, a single-character variable is a variable name that consists of a single character like a or x. Input of single-character variable names is subject to different rules than input of a series of multiple characters (like abc).

2+( )2'2 '2+ 1

2

()

1

0 (1 2)

Chapter 1: Basics26

uTo input a single-character variable name

Any character you input using any one of the following techniques is always treated as a single-character variable.

Tapping any key in the [Var] (variable) key set (page 19)

Tapping the X, Y, or Z key of the [Number] key set

Tapping the [ key of the [Math2] key set

Pressing the x, y, or Z keypad key

If you use the above key operations to input a series of characters, each one is treated as a single-character variable. Inputting A, B, C using the [Var] key set, for example, is treated as the mathematical expression a b c, and not as the characters abc.

Tip: The single-character variables described above make it possible for you to perform calculations as they appear in your textbook.

Example 1: ABCw

Example 2: 2xyE

Tip: When you input a single-character variable, its name appears on the display as an italicized character. This is simply to let you know that the letter is a single-character variable name.

uTo input a series of multiple characters

A series of multiple characters (like list1) can be used for variable names, program commands, comment text, etc. Always use the [abc] key set when you want to input a series of characters.

Example: abcE

You can also use the [abc] key set to input single-character variable names. To do so, simply input a single character, or follow a single character with a mathematical operator.

Example: a*b+cE

Tip: A single-character variable you input using the [abc] key set is identical to a single-character variable you input using the [Var] key set.

k Using the Alphabet Keyboard

Tap the [abc] tab to the left of the soft keyboard to display the alphabet keyboard [abc] key set. In addition to the [abc] key set, you can also select from among three other key sets named [] (character symbols), [Math] (mathematics symbols), and [Symbol] (extra symbols).

Use the tabs above the alphabet keyboard (to the right of the keyboard when using horizontal screen orientation) to select a key set. To return to the [Math1] key set from the alphabet keyboard, tap the I key in the lower left corner.

Chapter 1: Basics27

k Using the Catalog Keyboard

The Form menu of the catalog keyboard lets you select one of the five categories described below.

Func ........ built-in functions (pages 48 and 61)

Cmd ........ built-in commands and operators (page 206)

Sys .......... system variables (page 299)

User ........ user-defined functions (page 203)

All ............ all commands, functions, etc.

After selecting a category, you can choose the item you want from the alphabetized list that appears on the catalog keyboard.

Tip: Note that user-defined variables and user-defined programs cannot be input using the catalog keyboard. Use Variable Manager (page 29) instead.

Catalog keyboard configuration Tapping a letter button displays the commands, functions, or other items that begin with that letter.

This is an alphabetized list of commands, functions, and other items available in the category currently selected with Form.

Tap the down arrow button and then select the category you want ([Func], [Cmd], [Sys], [User], or [All]) from the list that appears.

Tap this key to input the item that is currently selected in the alphabetized list.

uTo use the catalog keyboard

Example: To input the built-in command Plot

1. On the catalog keyboard, tap the Form down arrow button and then select [Cmd] from the list of categories that appears.

2. Tap the + button in the upper right corner until the P button is visible.

3. Tap P.

4. In the alphabetized list, tap Plot and then tap [INPUT] to input the command.

Instead of tapping [INPUT], you could also tap the command a second time to input the command.

1-5 ClassPad Data This section provides information about the various types of data that can be stored in ClassPad memory, and the location where each type of data is stored. It also explains how to use Variable Manager, which is a tool for managing stored data, as well as file operations (file save, recall, delete, rename, etc.) that are common to a number of different applications.

Data Types and Storage Locations (Memory Areas) ClassPad uses a main memory memory area to store various types of data.

Examples:

Executing 10x (which assigns a value of 10 to variable x) in the Main application or eActivity application causes variable x to be stored in main memory as EXPR (expression) type data.

Creating a user-defined function (page 203) causes the function to be stored in main memory as FUNC (function) type data.

Chapter 1: Basics28

Saving a spreadsheet to a file (by executing [File] - [Save] with the Spreadsheet application) saves the file in main memory as MEM (memory) type data.

An eActivity file created with the eActivity is stored in a separate eActivity memory area in order to keep it separate from other application data.

Accessing Data Besides the application that originally created it, data in main memory can also be accessed by any other application. It can also be deleted, renamed, copied, moved and otherwise accessed using Variable Manager (page 29). eActivity files can be accessed from the eActivity application only.

Main Memory Data Types Data stored in main memory has a data type attribute that is assigned in accordance with the application that created the data and the actual content of the data. The data type is indicated by a data type name. Data type names are shown on the Variable Manager variable list, and on the Select Data dialog box that appears when you are specifying a variable in any ClassPad application. The following table lists all of the data type names and explains the meaning of each.

Data Type Name Data Type

EXPR Real number, complex number or expression data

STR String data

LIST List data created using the Statistics application, Main application, etc.

MAT Matrix data created using the Main application, etc.

PRGM* General program

EXE* Edit prohibited program

TEXT* Text data

FUNC* User-defined function

GMEM* Graph memory data saved using the Graph & Table application For more information, see Saving Graph Editor Data to Graph Memory (page 102).

GEO* Geometry application data

MEM* Data saved to a file using one of the following applications: Spreadsheet, Geometry, Verify (page 94), Probability (page 95).

OTHR Data other than that described above

Protected variable types Some data types are protected. A variable whose data type is protected cannot be overwritten with another variable, which protects variable contents from being inadvertently altered. Data types whose names are marked with an asterisk in the above table are protected. Note that whether or not a data type is protected is determined by the system. You cannot change the protection status of a data type.

Tip: Even when a variable is a protected data type, you can rename, delete, or move it. To disable these operations, you need to lock the variable. See Variable Manager operations on page 30.

Main Memory Folders Your ClassPad stores data in one of the following types of folders described below.

main folder: The main folder is a ClassPad reserved folder, and acts as the default current folder (see Current Folder below).

library folder: Also a ClassPad reserved folder, the library folder can be used for storing user-created data (variables, programs, user functions, etc.). Data stored in the library folder can be accessed without specifying a path, regardless of the current folder setting.

Chapter 1: Basics29

User folder: This is a folder created and named by you. You can make a user folder the current folder, move data to a user folder, etc. You can also delete and rename a user folder as required. You can have up to 87 user folders in main memory at one time.

Tip: You cannot put a folder inside of another folder.

Current Folder The current folder is the folder where the data (excluding eActivity files) created by applications are stored and from which such data can be accessed. The initial default current folder is the main folder. You can also select a user folder you created as the current folder. For more information about how to do this, see Variable Manager operations on page 30.

Using Variable Manager Variable Manager is a tool for managing user variables, programs, user functions, and other types of data. Though this section uses only the term variables, the explanations provided here also refer to the other types of data that can be managed by Variable Manager.

With Variable Manager you can:

Create, delete, rename, lock, and unlock folders, and configure current folder settings.

Delete, copy, rename, move, lock, unlock, search for variables, and view the contents of variables.

About Variable Types A variable with a letter name like x and y can be a user-created user variable, a system variable, or a local variable.

System variables are pre-defined reserved variables, and cannot be renamed. For the names of and detailed information about system variables, see the System Variable Table on page 299.

A local variable is a variable that is temporarily created by a defining function, program, or other operation for a particular purpose. For more information about local variables, see the Local command under the 12-4 Program Command Reference.

the destination folder is replaced with the one that you are copying or moving.

A variable that is locked cannot be moved.

View the contents of a variable

On the variable list, tap the name of the variable whose contents you want to view so it is highlighted, and then tap it again. This displays a dialog box that shows the contents of the variable.

Input a folder name or variable name into an application

See To input a folder name or variable name into an application (page 31).

Search for a variable On the folder list, tap [Search]. On the dialog box that appears, enter the variable name you want to find and then tap [OK]. An exclamation point (!) appears in front of all folders containing a variable name that matches the name in your search. Note: You can use the above procedure to search the main folder or a user defined folder for a particular variable name. Note that you cannot search the library folder.

Chapter 1: Basics31

Selecting a Folder If no check box is selected on the folder list, any folder operation that is performed affects the folder whose

name is currently highlighted on the list. If any folder check box is selected, only that folder is affected by a folder operation, and the folder whose name is highlighted on the list is not affected.

Selecting the check box of a folder causes the check boxes of all of the variables inside of it also to become selected.

When renaming a folder, only the folder whose name is highlighted on the folder list is renamed. Other folders whose check boxes are selected are not affected.

Selecting a Variable If no check box is selected on the variable list, any variable operation that is performed affects the variable

whose name is currently highlighted on the list. If any variable check box is selected, only that variable is affected by a variable operation, and the variable whose name is highlighted on the list is not affected.

When renaming a variable, only the variable whose name is highlighted on the variable list is renamed. If other variables are selected (checked), they will not be affected.

Folder and Variable Name Rules The following are the rules that apply to folder and variable names.

Folder or variable names can be up to 8 bytes long.

The following characters are allowed in a folder or variable name: Upper-case and lower-case characters, subscript characters, numbers, underscore (_).

Folder or variable names are case-sensitive. For example, each of the following is treated as a different folder/variable name: abc, Abc, aBc, ABC.

A reserved word (system variable names, built-in function names, command names, etc.) cannot be used as a folder or variable name.

A number, subscript characters or the underscore (_) cannot be used as the first character of a folder or variable name.

u To delete a folder

Important! Before deleting a folder, make sure you no longer need any of the variables contained inside it. It is probably a good idea to first delete the variables you dont need, move the variables you do need to another folder, and then delete the empty folder.

1. Open the folder you want to delete and check its contents.

Make sure you no longer need any of the variables in the folder. If any of the variables are locked, unlock them.

After checking the contents of the folder, close it to return to the folder list.

2. Select the check box next to the folder you want to delete.

You can select and delete multiple folders, if you want.

3. On the folder list, tap [Edit] and then [Delete].

4. In response to the confirmation dialog box that appears, tap [OK] to delete the folder.

Tip: You cannot delete the library folder or the main folder.

u To input a folder name or variable name into an application

1. In the Main application, Graph & Table application, or some other application, move the cursor to the location where you want to input the variable name.

2. Start up Variable Manager to display the folder list.

3. If you want to input a variable name, double-tap the folder that includes the variable whose name you want to input. If you want to input a folder name, advance to the next step.

Chapter 1: Basics32

4. Tap the folder or variable whose name you want to input, so its name is highlighted.

5. Tap [INPUT].

This exits Variable Manager and inputs the name of the folder or variable you selected in step 4 into the application at the current cursor position.

Managing Application Files The applications below can save data to files.

This displays the Create Folder dialog box.

3. Enter up to 8 bytes for the folder name, and then tap [OK] to create a folder.

1-6 Creating and Using Variables This section explains how to create a new variable (user variable), and provides a simple sample calculation that illustrates how to use a variable.

Creating a New Variable The most common way to create a new variable is assigning a value or expression to the applicable variable name. Use the variable assignment key (W) to assign data to a variable.

The following is an example of assignment to a variable while main is specified as the current folder.

Example: To create a new variable named eq1 and assign the expression 2x + 1 to it The following assumes that there are no variables named eq1 or x currently in the main folder.

uClassPad Operation

1. Start the Main application.

2. Press k to display the soft keyboard, and then perform the following key operation.

2x+11W0eqbw

Chapter 1: Basics34

This creates a variable named eq1 in the current folder (the main folder in this example), and assigns the expression 2x + 1 to it.

Tip If a variable with the specified name already exists in the current folder, the contents of the existing variable are replaced

with the newly assigned data, unless the existing variable is locked or protected. For more information, see Variable Manager operations (page 30) and Protected variable types (page 28).

To store the newly created variable in a folder other than the current folder, specify the variable name as follows: \ .

You can use Variable Manager to view the contents of a variable you create. For more information, see Variable Manager operations (page 30).

For information about rules for naming variables, see Folder and Variable Name Rules (page 31).

Variable Usage Example The following example uses the variable we created in the example under Creating a New Variable above.

Example: To assign values of 5 and 10 to x and check the results of eq1 (= 2x + 1)

uClassPad Operation

1. Assign 5 to x.

51WxE

2. Check the contents of variable eq1.

0eqbw

This displays the calculation result of 2x + 1 when x = 5.

3. Assign 10 to x.

101WxE

4. Check the contents of variable eq1.

0eqbw

library Folder Variables Variables in the library folder can be accessed without specifying a path name, regardless of the current folder.

Example: To create and access two variables, one located in the library folder and one located in another folder

uClassPad Operation

1. With main specified as the current folder, perform the following operation to create a variable named eq1 and assign the indicated list data to it.

{1, 2, 3} W eq1w

2. Keeping main specified as the current folder, perform the following operation to create a variable named eq2 in the library folder, and assign the indicated list data to it.

{4, 5, 6} W library\eq2w

3. Check the contents of the two variables.

eq1w

eq2w

(Since variable eq2 is stored in the library folder, you do not need to indicate a path to access it.)

Chapter 1: Basics35

4. Change the current folder specification to Test.

Use Variable Manager (page 29) to create a folder named Test and change the current folder specification.

5. Perform the following operations to view the contents of variables eq1 and eq2.

eq1E

(Since this key operation does not access the main folder, the variable name (eq1) is displayed without showing the variable contents.)

main\eq1E

(Specifying the path to the main folder where eq1 is located displays the contents of the variable.)

eq2E

(Since variable eq2 is stored in the library folder, you do not need to indicate a path to access it.)

Tip: Specifying a variable name that exists in both the current folder and the library folder causes the variable in the current folder to be accessed. For details about the variable access priority sequence and how to access variables in particular folders, see Rules Governing Variable Access below.

Rules Governing Variable Access Normally, you access a variable by specifying its variable name. The rules in this section apply when you need to reference a variable that is not located in the current folder or to access a variable that has the same name as one or more variables located in other folders.

kVariable Search Priority Sequence

Specifying a variable name to access a variable causes variables to be searched in the sequence below.

(1) Local variables (2) Current folder variables (3) library folder variables

Multiple variables with the same name can exist simultaneously as a local variable, as a variable in the current folder, and as a variable in the library folder. In this case, the ClassPad searches folders according to the sequence shown above and accesses the first instance of the variable that it finds. If you want to access such a variable when it occurs lower in the above sequence, you need to specify the folder name along with the variable name as shown in Specifying a Variable in a Particular Folder below.

If a variable you specify cannot be found, it is treated as an undefined variable.

Note that system variables are not included in the above variable search. When accessing a system variable, you need to specify the variable name only, without specifying the folder name.

Tip: Only local variables and current folder variables are searched in the case of an operation that stores variable data or a command that performs an operation on a variable (like DelVar). Normally, library folder variables are not searched. If you want to include library folders in the search, you need to specify the library folder as the variable location as explained below.

kSpecifying a Variable in a Particular Folder

You can access a variable located inside the main folder, library folder, or a particular user folder by specifying the folder name along with the variable name.

Use the following syntax when specifying a folder name:

\

Example: To specify variable abc located in the main folder main\abc

Chapter 1: Basics36

1-8 When you keep having problems If you keep having problems when you are trying to perform operations, try the following before assuming that there is something wrong with the ClassPad.

1. Initialize all application format settings.

Perform the procedure under Initializing All Application Format Settings (page 42).

2. Perform the RAM reset (RESTART) operation.

Perform RAM reset when the ClassPad freezes up or otherwise fails to perform as expected for some reason.

To perform the RAM reset operation

Important!

The RAM reset operation deletes all data that is temporarily stored in ClassPad RAM. Performing the RAM reset operation while a calculation is in progress will cause any data stored in RAM by the calculation to be lost.

Perform the RAM reset operation only when your ClassPad freezes up or when it begins to operate abnormally for some reason.

1. Use the stylus to press the RESTART button on the back of the ClassPad.

Following the RAM reset operation, the ClassPad restarts automatically.

RESTART Button

2. After the ClassPad restarts, perform the ClassPad setup operation. For more information about the procedures you need to perform here, see Loading Batteries and Setting Up the ClassPad in the separate Quick Start Guide.

The application menu appears after you finish the setup operation.

3. Reset the ClassPad.

Before performing the reset operation, first make a written copy of all important data.

For details, see To batch delete specific data (Reset) (page 281).

Chapter 2: Main Application44

Chapter 2: Main Application The Main application is a general-purpose numerical and mathematical calculation application that you can use to study mathematics and solve mathematical problems. You can use the Main application to perform general operations from basic arithmetic calculations, to calculations that involve lists, matrices, etc.

Starting up the Main application displays a large white work area. Use this area for inputting operations and commands. ClassPad also uses this area to output calculation results.

Basic Main application operations consist of inputting a calculation expression into the work area and pressing E. This performs the calculation and then displays its result on the right side of the work area.

2-1 Basic Calculations This section explains how to perform basic mathematical operations in the Main application.

Arithmetic Calculations and Parentheses Calculations You can perform arithmetic calculations by inputting expressions as they are written. The ClassPad automatically judges the calculation priority sequence for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, functions, and parentheses.

0201 Calculation examples

Chapter 2: Main Application45

All of the example calculations shown in 0201 are performed using the keypad or the soft keyboard [Number] key set, unless noted otherwise.

The example calculations are all performed using the Decimal mode (page 46).

Using the e Key Use the e key to input exponential values. You can also input exponential values using the E key on the soft keyboard [Number] key set.

0202 Calculation examples

Omitting the Multiplication Sign You can omit the multiplication sign in any of the following cases.

In front of a function 2sin (30), 10log (1.2), etc.

In front of a constant or variable a, 2ab, 3ans, etc.

In front of an open parenthesis 3(5 + 6), (a + 1)(b 1), etc. Note that you must use a multiplication sign when the expression directly in front of the open parenthesis is a literal variable. Example: ab (3 + b) must be written ab (3 + b). Otherwise, your input is considered to be in function notation ( f ( x )).

In front of the e key or E key (See Using the e Key above.)

In front of a matrix or list a {1, 2, 3}, 3 [[1, 2] [3, 4]], etc.

Using the Answer Variable (ans) Any time you execute a calculation in the Main application work area, the last result is assigned automatically to a variable named ans (answer). You can even recall current ans variable contents and input them into another calculation by tapping the D key on the soft keyboard.

0203 Calculation examples

Tip: Starting a calculation expression with +, , , , or ^ operator will cause the ans variable to be inserted automatically to the left of the operator, even if you do not tap the D key.

Assigning a Value to a Variable Besides using the variable assignment key (W, page 33), you can also use the syntax shown below in the Main application and eActivity application to assign a value to a variable.

Syntax: Variable: = value

0204 Assign 123 to variablex

Important! := can be used only in Main and eActivity. It can NOT be used in a program. In the Program application, you must use W to store a value to a variable.

Chapter 2: Main Application46

Calculation Priority Sequence Your ClassPad automatically performs calculations in the following sequence.

1 Commands with parentheses (sin(, diff(, etc.)

2 Factorials ( x! ), degree specifications (o, r ), percents (%)

3 Powers

4 , memory, variable multiplication operations that omit the multiplication sign (2, 5A, etc.), command with parentheses multiplication operations that omit the multiplication sign (2'3, etc.), ,

5 +, , ()

6 Relational operators (=, , <, >, s, t)

7 and

8 or, xor

9 with ( | )

Tip Expressions in parentheses are given priority.

In cases where a series of calculations in the same expression includes more than one of the operators 4 through 9 that are the same priority sequence level, the same level operations are performed from left to right. A series of power calculations 3 (example: 5^2^3) is performed from right to left (5^(2^3)).

Example: 2 + 3 ( log (sin( 22)) + 6.8) = 22.07101691 (In Algebra mode, Decimal mode, Radian mode)

Calculation Modes All of the following calculation examples are shown using the Algebra mode only.

Standard Mode and Decimal Mode

The Standard mode displays calculation results in mathematical expression format whenever possible, while the Decimal mode converts calculation results to a decimal form.

Expression Decimal Mode Result Standard Mode Result

50 4 = 12.5 12.5 25

2

2 + 2 = 3.414213562... 3.414213562 2 + 2

= 3.1415926535... 3.141592654

Chapter 2: Main Application47

u Number of Decimal Places, Number of Significant Digits, Normal Display Settings

The [Number Format] settings on the Basic Format dialog box specify the number of decimal places, the number of significant digits, and the normal display setting for Main application Decimal mode calculation results. The following shows how calculation results appear under each setting.

Expression Normal 1 Normal 2 Fix 3 Sci 3

50 4 = 12.5 12.5 12.5 12.500 1.25E + 1

100 6 = 16.6666666... 16.66666667 16.66666667 16.667 1.67E + 1

1 600 = 0.00166666... 1.666666667E 3 0.00166666666 0.002 1.67E 3

1011 4 = 2.5E + 10 2.5E + 10 2.5E + 10 2.5E + 10 2.50E + 10

The allowable range for the number of decimal places is Fix 0 to Fix 9, and the range for the number of significant digits is Sci 0 to Sci 9. For details about the [Number Format] settings, see Basic Format Dialog Box on page 36.

Complex Mode and Real Mode

The Complex mode is for complex number calculations, while the Real mode is limited to calculations within the range of real numbers. Performing a calculation in the Real mode that produces a result that is outside the range of real numbers causes an error (Non-Real in Calc).

0207 (Complex mode and Real mode calculation results)

Tip You can select i or j for the imaginary unit. See To specify the complex number imaginary unit on page 283.

If the expression includes ( r , ), calculation results should be ( r , ) form.

Radian Mode, Degree Mode and Grad Mode

You can specify radians, degrees or grads as the angle unit for display of trigonometric calculation results.

uExamples of Radian mode, Degree mode and Grad mode calculation results

Expression Radian Mode Degree Mode Grad Mode

sin (/4) sin 4( ) sin

4( )

sin (45) sin (45) sin (45)

sin (50) sin (50) sin (50)

Important! Regardless of the currently selected angle unit setting, a calculation that includes an imaginary number power exponent (such as: ei) is performed using radians as the angle unit (ei = 1).

Assistant Mode and Algebra Mode

The Algebra mode automatically simplifies mathematical expressions produced by calculations. No simplification is performed in the Assistant mode. In the Assistant mode, you can view intermediate results as well, which allows you to see the steps that lead to a particular result as shown in 0208 (see the expand example).

0208 (Assistant mode and Algebra mode calculation results)

Important! The Assistant mode is available in the Main application and eActivity application only.

2-2 Using the Calculation History The Main application work area calculation history can contain up to 30 expression/result pairs. You can look up a previous calculation, edit, and then re-calculate it, if you want.

Use the scroll bar or scroll buttons to scroll the work area window up and down. This brings current calculation history contents into view.

You can edit a calculation expression in the calculation history and then re-calculate the resulting expression. Pressing E re-calculates the expression where the cursor is currently located, and also re-calculates all of the expressions below the current cursor location.

0209 To change the expression ans 2 to ans3 in the example, and then re-calculate

Tip To re-calculate only a single specific line, tap 7. Tapping 7 re-calculates the calculation where the cursor is currently

located only. It does not affect anything in calculation history that comes before or after the line.

To re-calculate all of the expressions in the calculation history, locate the cursor in the top line, and then press E.

uTo delete part of the calculation history contents

1. Move the cursor to the expression line or result line of the two-line unit you want to delete.

2. Tap [Edit] and then [Delete].

Important! Even if the result of the deleted two-line unit has an effect on subsequent calculations, the affected calculations are not updated automatically following the deletion. When you want to update everything in the calculation history following the deleted unit, move the cursor to a line that is above the one you deleted and then press E.

uTo clear all calculation history contents

Tap [Edit] and then [Clear All]. In response to the confirmation message that appears, tap [OK].

2-3 Function Calculations This section explains how to perform function calculations in the Main application work area.

You do not need to input the closing parenthesis that comes immediately before an E key operation. All of the calculation examples in this section omit the closing parentheses before E.

The following example calculations are all performed using the Decimal mode. Using the Standard mode causes results to be displayed as fractions.

Angle Conversion (, r)

The first two examples use Degree (indicated by Deg in the status bar) as the angle unit setting. The final example uses Radian (indicated by Rad in the status bar) as the angle unit setting. Note that using the wrong angle unit setting will make it impossible to produce correct calculation results.

uTo change the angle unit setting

1. On the O menu, tap [Basic Format].

2. Tap the [Angle] down arrow button, and then select [Radian], [Degree] or [Grad].

You can also change the angle unit setting by tapping the current setting (Rad, Deg, or Gra) on the status bar. Each tap will cycle through the available settings.

0228 Assign the values 10, 20, and 30, to variables x ,y , andz respectively

2-6 Specifying a Number Base While using the Main application, you can specify a default number base (binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal). You can also convert between number bases and perform bitwise operations using logical operators (not, and, or, xor).

Note the following limitations, which all apply while a default number base (binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal) is specified in the Main application.

You cannot use scientific functions, or [Action] or [Interactive] menu commands.

Except for Ans (Answer Memory variable), you cannot use variables.

You can input integers only. An error (Invalid Syntax) will occur if you try to input a non-integer value (like 1.5 or '2 ).

If a calculation produces a non-integer result (with a decimal part), the ClassPad will cut off the decimal part automatically. For example, the calculation 5 2 while decimal is selected as the number base is 2.

An error message is displayed if you try to enter a value that is invalid for the speicfied number base. The following shows the numerals that can be used in each number system.

Binary: 0, 1 Octal: 0 to 7 Decimal: 0 to 9 Hexadecimal: 0 to 9, A, B, C, D, E, F

Binary, Octal, Decimal, and Hexadecimal Calculation Ranges The following are the display capacities and calculation ranges for each of the number bases.

Number Base Display Capacity Calculation Range (Positive ; Negative)

Binary 32 digits 0 s x s 01111111111111111111111111111111 ; 10000000000000000000000000000000 s x s 11111111111111111111111111111111

Octal 11 digits 0 s x s 17777777777 ; 20000000000 s x s 37777777777

Decimal 10 digits 0 s x s 2147483647 ; 2147483648 s x s 1

Hexadecimal 8 digits 0 s x s 7FFFFFFF ; 80000000 s x s FFFFFFFF

Negative binary, octal, and hexadecimal values are produced using the twos complement of the original value.

Chapter 2: Main Application60

Selecting a Number Base Specifying a default number base in the Main application will apply to the current line (expression/result pair), and to all subsequent lines until you change the default number base setting.

uTo select the number base for the line where the cursor is located

1. Tap the down arrow button next to the < button.

2. Tap the button that corresponds to the number base you want to use: 1 (binary), 2 (octal), 3 (decimal), 4 (hexadecimal).

The currently selected number base is indicated in the status bar.

3. Execute the calculation.

Important! A line for which a number base is not specified is called a normal calculation line. To return a line to a

normal calculation line, tap < in step 2 of the above procedure.

Calculation results produced by a line for which a number base is specified are followed by one of the suffixes listed below, to indicate its number system.

Number System Binary Octal Decimal Hexadecimal

Suffix b o d h

uTo specify a number base for an input value

You can input the following suffixes to specify the number base of a value as you input it: [b] (binary), [o] (octal), [d] (decimal), and [h] (hexadecimal). You can specify a number base for an input value only when a default number base (besides normal) is selected

Arithmetic Operations You can use the following operators when performing binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal values: +, , , , ^. You can also use parenthetical expressions.

0229 To calculate 101112 + 110102

0230 To calculate (118 + 78)2

0231 Perform the calculation 12310 + 10102 so it produces a hexadecimal result

Bitwise Operations The logical operators (and, or, xor, not) can be used in calculations.

and ...Returns the result of a bitwise product.

or ......Returns the result of a bitwise sum.

xor ....Returns the result of a bitwise exclusive logical sum.

not ....Returns the result of a complement (bitwise inversion).

0232 Calculation examples

Chapter 2: Main Application61

Using the baseConvert Function (Number System Transform) The baseConvert function lets you convert a number in one base (number system) to its equivalent in another base.

Important! The baseConvert function works for positive integers only.

The baseConvert function cannot be used in a line for which a particular number base is specified. It can be used in a normal calculation line only.

Syntax: baseConvert (Number, Current base, Expected base)

Number must be a positive integer consisting of digits 0 to 9 and/or A to F.

The current base and expected base can be any whole number from 2 to 16.

However, this destroys the symmetry, resulting in the transform pair shown below.

() () = [()] =

() () = 1[()] =

1

2

Chapter 2: Main Application66

To restore the symmetry of the transforms, the convention shown below is sometimes used.

Negative infinity and positive infinity are the default when the syntax fMin(Exp[,variable] [ ) ] or fMax(Exp[,variable] [ ) ] is used.

n is calculation precision, which you can specify as an integer in the range of 1 to 9. Using any value outside this range causes an error.

This command returns an approximate value when calculation precision is specified for n . This command returns a true value when nothing is specified for n . If the true value cannot be obtained,

however, this command returns an approximate value along with n = 4.

Discontinuous points or sections that fluctuate widely can adversely affect precision or even cause an error.

Inputting a larger number for n increases the precision of the calculation, but it also increases the amount of time required to perform the calculation.

The value you input for the end point of the interval must be greater than the value you input for the start point. Otherwise an error occurs.

solve(Vct-1 + s * Vct-2 [= Vct-3, {variable-1}])

If the right side of the equation (= Vct-3) is omitted in the above syntax, it is assumed that all of the elements on the right side are 0 vectors.

solve(Vct-1 + s * Vct-2 = Vct-3 + t * Vct-4, {variable-1, variable-2})

Using the Distribution/Inv.Dist Submenu The [Distribution/Inv.Dist] submenu includes functions related to each type of statistical calculation distribution probability. The functions on this submenu perform the same calculations as the Distribution commands that are available in the Statistics application and the Main, eActivity, and Program applications. For information about the numeric expressions used in calculations, see Distributions on page 151. For information about the meanings of the variables used in the syntaxes of the functions presented in this section, and the system variables that store the values obtained as calculation results, see Input and Output Terms on page 154.

Specifying Arguments within the Distribution Function

You can specify either values or list data for any of the arguments within the Distribution function. The normPDf function (page 85) syntax (normPDf( x , , )) that returns normal probability density can be used to perform the calculations shown below. The Number Format setting is Fix 2 for all calculation results.

normPDf(1, 1, 0) = 0.24

normPDf({1, 2}, 1, 0) = {0.24, 0.05}

normPDf(1, {1, 2}, 0) = {0.24, 0.18}

normPDf({1, 2},{1, 2}, 0) = {0.24, 0.12}

normPDf({1, 2},{1, 2},{1, 0}) = {0.40, 0.12}

The following explains how to specify list data in arguments and how calculation results are output.

(a) Specifying list data for a single argument

Basically, you can specify any list you like, but the each of the elements in the list must be in accordance with the conditions required by the argument of the function being used.

Calculation is performed on each element within the list and results are output as shown below. normPDf( x , { 1, 2}, ) = { x , 1, ) calculation result>, x , 2, ) calculation result>}

(b) Specifying list data for multiple arguments

In this case, all of the lists must have the same number of elements. Otherwise an Invalid Dimension error will occur.

Calculation is performed on each element within the list and results are output as shown below. normPDf({ x 1, x 2}, { 1, 2}, ) = { x 1, 1, ) calculation results>, x 2, 2, ) calculation results>}

Assignment of List Data Calculation Results to Variables

Using the list data in the argument of the Distribution function causes calculation results to be output as list data, which is assigned as-is to the ans variable. In addition to the ans variable, calculations that use the Distribution function causes calculation results also to be assigned to certain system variables. For example, the normal probability density variable returned by normPDf is assigned to system variable prob . Only the last element of the list data will be assigned to a system variable as a calculation result.

In the distribution function explanations below, the names of the functions to which calculation results are assigned are shown under Calculation Result Output.

2-12 Running a Program in the Main Application You can run a program in the Main application or the eActivity application.

Syntax: Folder name\Program name(parameter)

You do not need to specify the folder name if the program you want to run is in the current folder. If you leave ClassPad configured with its initial default settings, the current folder for both the Program application and the Main application is the main folder, so you normally do not need to specify a folder name.

Unless you change it, the current folder of the eActivity application is the eAct folder, so you always need to specify the folder name. If you want to run a program that is in the main folder, input main\Program name(parameter).

Important! If the program command Pause is used in a program, it is ignored when the program is called from Main or eActivity.

3-1 Storing Functions Use the Graph Editor window to store a Graph & Table application function. This section covers Graph Editor operations, and explains how to store functions.

Using Graph Editor Sheets The Graph Editor window has five tabbed sheets named Sheet 1 through Sheet 5, each of which can contain up to 20 functions. You can graph up to 20 functions simultaneously, as long as all of the functions are on the same sheet.

The table below explains Graph Editor sheet operations.

To do this: Do this:

Select a sheet Tap the tab of the sheet you want to select. The currently selected sheet is the active sheet.

Rename a sheet Tap the tab of the active sheet. On the dialog box that appears, enter up to 8 bytes for the sheet name, and then tap [OK].

Return the active sheet name to its initial default

Tap a, [Sheet], and then [Default Name].

Initialize a Sheet Tap a, [Sheet], and then [Clear Sheet]. This clears all of the active sheet functions and renames the sheet to its default name.

Initialize all the Sheets Tap [Edit], and then [Clear All]. In response to the confirmation dialog box that appears, tap [OK]. This clears all of the expressions from the Graph Editor window and returns the sheet names to their initial default names (Sheet 1 through Sheet 5).

Storing a Function To input an expression, tap a blank line on the Graph Editor window and then perform the operations described below.

To input this type of expression:

Do this:

Rectangular coordinate expression (y = f(x))

1. Tap [Type] - [y=Type].

2. Input an expression (such as: 2x2 3) that contains variable x and then press E.

Polar coordinate expression

1. Tap [Type] - [r=Type].

2. Input an expression (such as: 5sin(3)) that contains variable and then press E.

Parametric expressions 1. Tap [Type] - [ParamType].

2. If you want to configure settings using preset ClassPad View Window parameters, perform the operations described below.

To configure this setting: Do this:

ClassPad initial defaults On the [Memory] menu select [Initial], or tap the [Default] button.

Configure settings optimized for trigonometric function graphing

On the [Memory] menu, select [Trigonometric].

Display both the x-axis and y-axis in a range of 10 to 10

On the [Memory] menu, select [Standard].

Configure View Window settings that maintain the current background image

On the [Memory] menu, select [Picture].

Configure parameters automatically optimized for a graph

On the [Memory] menu, select [Auto].

For details about each preset parameter, see View Window Preset Parameters (page 103).

3. Configure View Window parameters required for the type of graph you want to draw.

Rectangular Coordinates

Use this item: To configure this View Window parameter:

xmin/ymin x-axis/y-axis minimum value

xmax/ymax x-axis/y-axis maximum value (Specify a value greater than xmin/ymin.)

xscale/yscale x-axis/y-axis marker spacing

xdot/ydot Value of each dot on the x-axis/y-axis

Selecting the x-log and/or y-log check box at the top of the display will switch the applicable axis to logarithmic scale. Selecting one of the check boxes results in a semi-log graph, while selecting both check boxes results in a log-log graph.

Polar Coordinates and Parametric Coordinates

Use this item: To configure this View Window parameter:

t min/t max Minimum/maximum value of t

t step Step size of t (Specify a non-zero value.)

4. After all the parameters are the way you want, tap [OK].

When you tap [OK] after changing View Window dialog box settings, the graph is redrawn automatically using the new View Window settings.

View Window Preset Parameters

Selecting preset View Window parameters configures the settings shown in the table below.

Note The values in the explanations below apply during the vertical half-size view of the Graph window (which is

the initial default setting of the Graph & Table application). Tapping r on the icon panel will switch to the full-screen view and change the View Window settings.

The View Window settings will different from those shown below when the Graph window is displayed using the horizontal view.

Parameter Name Description

Initial (Default) Both xscale and yscale are set to 1. The x-axis direction is displayed from 7.7 (xmin) to 7.7 (xmax), while the y-axis direction is from 4.6 (ymin) to 4.6 (ymax).

The following settings are configured: tmin = 0, tmax = 2* radian = 360 degree = 400 grad, tstep = (tmax tmin)/120*. The values depend on the Basic Format Angle setting.

Chapter 3: Graph & Table Application104

Parameter Name Description

Trigonometric xscale is set to /2* radian = 90 degree = 100 grad. The values depend on the Basic Format Angle setting. This xscale is used as the basis to display an x-axis direction in the range of xscale 7.7 (xmin) to xscale 7.7 (xmax). For example, when the Angle setting is Degree, xmin = 693, xmax = 693.

y-axis settings are fixed as follows, regardless of the Angle setting: yscale = 1, ymin = 2.1, ymax = 2.1.

tmin, tmax, tstep settings are the same as Initial Default.

Standard Both xscale and yscale are set to 1. Both the x-axis and y-axis directions are displayed in the range of 10 (xmin, ymin) to 10 (xmax, ymax).

Picture View Window settings that maintain the current background image are applied.

Auto View Window settings are automatically optimized for the expression (the last expression selected in the case of multiple expressions) selected for graphing on the Graph Editor window.

* These values are displayed as decimal format values.

View Window parameter precautions

When the View Window setting produces an axis that does not fit on the display, the scale of the axis is indicated on the edge of the display closest to the origin.

Changing the xmin (ymin) or xmax (ymax) value automatically changes the xdot (ydot) value, while changing the xdot (ydot) value automatically changes the xmax (ymax) value.

Using View Window Memory You can save your View Window setup for later use.

*1 Any View Window parameter that is not shown in the above table is unchanged when you execute a quick zoom command.

*2 Depending on the Basic Format Angle setting, executing Quick Trig changes the xscale setting to /2 (for Radian), 90 (for Degree), or 100 (for Grad). The following settings are applied based on the xscale value: xmin = 7.7 xscale, xmax = 7.7 xscale.

Using Built-in Functions for Graphing Your ClassPad is pre-programmed with the commonly used functions listed below.

y = ax + b y = acos (bx + c) + d y = ae^(bx + c) + d

y = ax^2 + bx + c y = atan (bx + c) + d y = a^(bx + c) + d

y = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d y = alog (bx + c) + d y = a /(bx + c) + d

y = asin (bx + c) + d y = aln (bx + c) + d

You can recall a built-in function and register it as-is into the Graph Editor window. You can then replace the parameters in the function with values and graph the results, or you can leave the literal parameter names unchanged and use Dynamic Modify (page 115) to modify the form of the graph.

uClassPad Operation

1. Tap [Type] - [ y =Type].

2. On the Graph Editor window, tap a and then [Built-In].

3. On the menu that appears, tap the built-in function you want to select.

The selected built-in function is input as-is on the Graph Editor window. Input values for each parameter as required.

2. Tap a and then [Table to List].

This displays a dialog box for specifying a variable name.

3. Enter the name you want to give to the variable, and then tap [OK].

This assigns the list of data you selected to a variable with the name you specified.

Showing Linked Displays of Number Table Coordinates and Graph Coordinates (Link Trace) With Link Trace, selecting a value in a number table created using a function causes a crosshair pointer (trace pointer) to appear at the corresponding coordinates on the graph.

0302 To create a number table of y = 3log(x+5), graph the values, and perform link trace

Chapter 3: Graph & Table Application110

Generating Number Table Values from a Graph You can input the coordinate values where the pointer is currently located on a graph into a table by simply pressing E.

0303 To generate number table values from the y = x3 3x graph

Generating a Summary Table A summary table can be created from a y=Type function registered on the Graph Editor window. The figure below shows an example of the summary graph and table of y = x3 3x.

The following are the two methods that can be used to create a summary table using the Graph & Table application.

Creating a summary table with the View Window settings xmin as the lower limit value and xmax as upper limit value

With this method, the x within the range of xmin and xmax where f (x) = 0 is automatically calculated and added to the table. You can specify xmin and xmax values, or you can use auto settings ([Memory] - [Auto] View Window settings).

Specifying the range of x-values for creating a summary table using a list stored in ClassPad memory

This method generates a summary table by looking up data stored in a list. A LIST variable is used to specify the x-values. When using this method, it is up to you specify all of the correct x-values required to generate the summary table. The summary table will not be generated correctly if you provide incorrect x-values.

Tip You can control whether or not the summary table should include an f (x) line (second derivative component) using the

[Summary Table f (x)] setting on the [Special] tab of the Graph Format dialog box (page 38). Turning on the [Summary Table f (x)] option causes both first derivative components and second derivative components to be displayed in the summary table. Turning it off shows first derivative components only.

Some functions may not be solvable by the ClassPads internal summary table calculation. When this happens, the Cant Solve! error message appears on the display.

uTo generate a summary table using View Window

1. On the Graph Editor window, register the function you want to use to create the summary table.

Make sure that only the check box of the function to be used for summary table creation is selected. Clear the check boxes of all other functions on the Graph Editor window.

2. Tap 6 to display the View Window dialog box.

3. Perform any one of the operations below.

Tap [Memory] and then [Auto]. This causes all settings on the View Window dialog box to change to Auto.

Specify the x-values for the summary table by specifying values for the [xmin] and [xmax] settings.

Chapter 3: Graph & Table Application111

4. Tap [OK] to close the View Window dialog box.

Tapping $ here graphs the function using the View Window settings.

5. Tap 4.

This starts summary table generation, and displays the result on the Table window. Note that generation of a summary table can take a bit of time.

Tip The above operation is possible only when View Window (which is the initial default) is selected for the Graph Format

dialog box [Summary Table] item.

A monotone increasing function or other special function may not be solvable by the ClassPads internal summary table calculation. If this happens, use the procedure below.

uTo generate a summary table by specifying all of the values for x

1. Tap O and then [Graph Format] to display the Graph Format dialog box.

2. Tap the [Special] tab, and then select a list option (list1 through list6 or a list variable created by you) for the [Summary Table] item.

By way of example, here we will select list1.

3. Tap [Set] to apply the settings and close the dialog box.

4. Tap O, [Window] and then [Stat Editor] to display the Stat Editor window.

5. In the list you selected in step 2 (list1 in this example), input the values you want to assign to x.

6. Tap the Graph Editor window to make it active.

7. On the Graph Editor window, register the function you want to use to create the summary table.

Make sure that only the check box of the function to be used for summary table creation is selected. Clear the check boxes of all other functions on the Graph Editor window.

8. Tap 4.

This starts summary table generation using the x-values you input in step 5, and displays the result on the Table window.

3-4 Using Trace Trace lets you move a point along a graph and displays the coordinates for the current pointer location. You can also link the trace operation to the number table used to draw a graph, so the pointer jumps to the coordinates that are currently selected in the table.

Using Trace to Read Graph Coordinates Starting the trace operation causes a crosshair pointer to appear on the graph. You can then press the cursor key or tap the graph controller arrows to move the pointer. The coordinates are displayed as you move the pointer.

u To perform a trace operation

1. On the Graph Editor window, input and store a function, and then tap $ to graph it.

Here, input y = x2 3 into line y1.

Chapter 3: Graph & Table Application112

2. Tap [Analysis], [Trace], or tap =.

This will display the pointer at the coordinates where x = 0. The pointer will not be visible when it is located at a point outside the graph display area.

If Undefined appears in place of the xc or yc coordinate, it means that the current point is undefined. Press the left or right cursor key to move to a point that is defined.

3. Press the left or right cursor key, or tap the left or right graph controller arrow.

This moves the pointer along the graph, and displays the coordinates of the current pointer location.

You can also move the pointer to a particular point by inputting coordinates. Pressing a number key displays a dialog box for inputting coordinates. Input the values you want and then tap [OK].

When there are multiple graphs on the Graph window, you can use the up and down cursor keys or the up and down graph controller arrows to move the pointer between graphs.

4. To quit the trace operation, tap l on the icon panel.

Tip While the trace pointer is on the window, tapping the displayed coordinate values causes the coordinate values to appear

in the message box. You can then copy the coordinates to the clipboard.

Selecting the [Derivative/Slope] check box on the Graph Format Dialog Box will show the derivative along with coordinates while the trace pointer is on the display. Clearing the [Coordinates] check box will hide the coordinate display while the trace pointer is on the display. For more information, see Graph Format Dialog Box on page 38.

3-5 Using the Sketch Menu The [Sketch] menu lets you add points, lines, figures, and text after you draw a graph. You can also add tangent and normal lines to your graph.

Using Sketch Menu Commands This section describes how to use each of the commands on the [Sketch] menu.

u To clear figures inserted using the Sketch menu

To clear plots, lines, text, or other figures inserted using the [Sketch] menu, tap [Analysis], [Sketch], and then [Cls]. This redraws the graph to what is stored on the Graph Editor window.

uTo plot a point on the Graph window

1. While the Graph window is active, tap [Analysis], [Sketch], and then [Plot].

2. Tap the location on the Graph window where you want to plot a point.

Instead of tapping the Graph window, you could also use the keypad to specify the coordinates of the point. Press a number key on the keypad. On the dialog box that appears, input x- and y-coordinate values, and then tap [OK].

uTo draw a line on the Graph window

1. While the Graph window is active, tap [Analysis], [Sketch], and then [Line].

2. Tap the start point of the line and then tap the end point. This causes a straight line to be drawn between the two points. The message box shows the equation of the line.

Instead of tapping the Graph window, you can use the keypad to specify the coordinates of the start point and end point. Press a number key on the keypad. On the dialog box that appears, input the coordinates for the start point (x1, y1) and the end point (x2, y2), and then tap [OK].

Chapter 3: Graph & Table Application113

u To write text on the Graph window

1. While the Graph window is active, tap [Analysis], [Sketch], and then [Text].

2. On the dialog box that appears, enter the text you want and then tap [OK].

This displays the word Text in the lower right corner of the Graph window.

3. Place the stylus on the screen and hold it there.

This causes the text you input in step 2 to appear at the location where you are pointing with the stylus.

4. Drag the text to the location you want, and then lift the stylus from the screen.

Tip: You cannot edit text after inputting it into the Graph window.

uTo draw a line tangent to a graph

1. On the Graph Editor window, register the function you want to graph.

By way of example, here we will register the following function: y = x2 x 2.

2. Tap $ to draw the graph. Next, tap [Analysis], [Sketch], and then [Tangent].

This displays the crosshair pointer along with its corresponding coordinate values.

3. Press 1.

4. The x-value specification dialog box will have x = 1 input, so tap [OK].

This draws the tangent to y = x2 x 2 at x = 1.

Tip: Instead of inputting coordinate values in steps 3 and 4, you can use the cursor key or the graph controller arrows to move the pointer to the point of tangency on the Graph window.

uTo draw a line that is normal to a graph

The procedure for drawing a line that is normal to a graph is virtually identical to the procedure To draw a line tangent to a graph, above. The only difference is in step 2, where you need to tap [Analysis], [Sketch], and then [Normal] instead of [Tangent].

uTo graph the inverse of a function

0304 To graph y = x2 x 2 and then overlay it with x = y2 y 2

uTo draw a circle

0305 To draw a circle

uTo draw a vertical or horizontal line

Chapter 3: Graph & Table Application114

3-6 Analyzing a Function Used to Draw a Graph Your ClassPad includes a G-Solve feature that lets you perform a variety of different analytical processes on an existing graph.

What You Can Do Using the G-Solve Menu Commands While there is a graph on the Graph window, you can use a [G-Solve] menu command to obtain the following information.

x-coordinate for a given y-coordinate .................................................Analysis - G-Solve - x-Cal/y-Cal - x-Cal

y-coordinate for a given x-coordinate .................................................Analysis - G-Solve - x-Cal/y-Cal - y-Cal

Root (the x-intercept) .................................................................................... Analysis - G-Solve - Root or Y

Minimum value ................................................................................................ Analysis - G-Solve - Min or I

Maximum value .............................................................................................. Analysis - G-Solve - Max or U

Minimum value in the range displayed on the Graph window ................................. Analysis - G-Solve - f Min

Maximum value in the range displayed on the Graph window ............................... Analysis - G-Solve - f Max

y-intercept ...................................................................................................... Analysis - G-Solve - y-Intercept

Point of intersection for two graphs .............................................................. Analysis - G-Solve - Intersection

Integration value for a specified range ........................................................ Analysis - G-Solve - Integral - dx

Integration value between the two or more of the graphs roots .............. Analysis - G-Solve - Integral - Root

Integration value between the two or more intersections of two graphs ............................................. Analysis - G-Solve - Integral - Intersection

Point of inflection ...............................................................................................Analysis - G-Solve - Inflection

Distance between two points ............................................................................ Analysis - G-Solve - Distance

Volume of a solid of revolution ......................................................................... Analysis - G-Solve - f(x)2dx

Tip: See Graph Types and Executable Functions (page 302) for information about graph types and executable G-Solve functions.

Using G-Solve Menu Commands When multiple solutions are obtained by a G-Solve command, only one solution is displayed at a time. For example, executing [Analysis] - [G-Solve] - [Root] for a cubic function that has two roots will display only one root at a time. In a case such as this, use the left and right cursor keys (or tap the left and right graph controller arrows) to cycle between the available solutions.

uTo obtain the root of a function

1. On the Graph Editor window, input and store a function, and then tap $ to graph it.

Here, input y = x(x + 2)(x 2) into line y1.

2. Tap [Analysis], [G-Solve], and then [Root], or tap Y.

This displays Root on the Graph window, and locates a pointer at the first solution of the root (root for smallest value of x). The x- and y-coordinates at the current pointer location are also shown on the Graph window.

Chapter 3: Graph & Table Application115

3. To obtain other roots, press the left or right cursor key, or tap the left or right graph controller arrows.

If there is only one solution, the pointer does not move when you press the cursor key or tap the graph controller arrow.

The following are examples for other G-Solve commands.

0307 To obtain the point of intersection for two graphs y = x + 1 and y = x2

0308 To determine coordinates at a particular point on a graph

0309 To graph the function y = x(x + 2)(x 2) and obtain its definite integral in the domain of 1 s x s 2

0310 To graph the function y = x3 1 and determine its inflection point

0311 To graph the function y = x2 x 2 and obtain the volume of a solid of revolution as the line segment from x = 1 to x = 2 is rotated on the x-axis

3-7 Modifying a Graph A graph can be modified in real time as you change its parameters and/or variable values. The Graph & Table application provides you with two methods for modifying a graph - Direct Modify and Dynamic Modify.

Modifying a Single Graph (Direct Modify) Direct Modify changes the parameter in the equation of the original graph. This method can be used when you are modifying a single graph.

0312 To graph the functions y = 2x2 + 3x 1 and y = 2x + 1, and then find out how a change in the parameters of each function affects the shape and position of the graphs

Modifying Multiple Graphs Simultaneously (Dynamic Modify) Dynamic Modify changes the values assigned to common parameters of multiple functions. Use Dynamic Modify when you want to modify multiple graphs at the same time.

u Inputting a Graph Formula for Use with Dynamic Modify

Example: To input the following formula with two common parameters (a, b): y = ax2 bx and y = ax + b

1. On the Graph Editor window, tap [Type] - [y=Type].

2. Perform any one of the operations below.

- Input using built-in functions

(1) Tap a - [Built-In] - [y=a x^2+b x+c] to input y = ax2 + bx + c.

(2) Edit the function you input (y = ax2 + bx + c) to it becomes y = ax2 bx, and then press E.

(3) Tap the line below the function.

(4) Tap a - [Built-In] - [y=a x+b] to input y = ax + b and then press E.

Chapter 3: Graph & Table Application116

- Input using the soft keyboard and keyboard

(1) Display the soft keyboard and use it to perform the key operation below.

a*x{c-b*xw

(2) Tap the line below the formula you input and then perform the key operation below.

a*x+bw

u To run Dynamic Modify

1. On the Graph Editor window, input at least one formula that contains a parameter.

2. Select the check box next to the graph formula(s) you want to use with Dynamic Modify and clear the check boxes of all of the other graphs.

In the explanation below, there are two formulas registered on the Graph Editor window: y = ax2 bx and y = ax + b. The check boxes of both of these formulas are selected for use with Dynamic Modify.

3. To run Dynamic Modify, tap a and then [Dynamic Graph] or tap 4.

This will display sliders for changing values assigned to parameters a and b.

4. Tap the arrow buttons at either end of the a and b sliders.

Each tap will change the values assigned to the applicable parameter (a or b) and redraw the graph accordingly.

The operations described below are supported while Dynamic Modify is running.

Sliders

To do this: Do this:

Change the current value, minimum value, maximum value and step value.

(1) Tap the upper left corner of the slider display box. On the menu that appears, tap [Settings].

This displays the Slider Settings dialog box. The number of tabs on the dialog box will match the number of parameters in your graph formula(s).

(2) Use the tabs to specify the current value, minimum value, maximum value, and step value for each of the parameters.

(3) To close the dialog box and save your changes, tap [OK].

Automatically modify the form of a graph (by changing the value of a specific parameter between specified minimum and maximum values)

(1) Tap the upper left corner of the slider display box.

(2) On the menu that appears, tap [Auto Play].

This starts an operation that automatically changes the value of the applicable parameter between the minimum value and maximum value, and then from the maximum value back to the minimum value. This cycle will stop automatically after a few cycles from the minimum value to the maximum value are complete. To stop a cycle part way through, tap l on the icon panel or press c. (Simultaneous Auto Play execution for multiple parameters is not supported.)

Temporarily hide sliders (1) Tap the upper left corner of the slider display box. On the menu that appears, tap [Minimize].

This hides all currently displayed sliders and causes the slider icon (a) to appear in the status bar.

(2) To unhide the sliders, tap the slider icon (a) in the status bar.

Chapter 3: Graph & Table Application117

uTo exit Dynamic Modify

Tap the close button (C) in the upper right corner of the slider display box.

Note While Dynamic Modify is running, up to three sliders can be displayed for the parameters included in the

graph formulas whose check boxes are selected. If there are more than three parameters in the selected graph formulas, the three parameters are automatically assigned to sliders in accordance with the rules below.

In the case of one graph formula, parameters are assigned to sliders from left to right until three are assigned.

In the case of multiple graph formulas, parameters are assigned to sliders in the chronological order that the graph formulas were registered (from left to right in each formula) until three are assigned.

To change slider allocations from those applied automatically, perform the steps below.

1. Tap the upper left corner of the slider display box.

2. On the menu that appears, tap [Settings].

3. On the Slider Settings dialog box that appears, tap the Parameter line button.

4. On the parameter list that appears, tap the parameter you want to assign to the slider.

If you use the above procedure to assign a different parameter to a slider, the parameter that was previously assigned to the slider will retain the value it was set at when you changed the slider assignment. Also, the minimum value, maximum value and step value will automatically change in accordance with the parameter value. The automatically generated values will be applied if you later assign the parameter to a slider.

0313 To graph the functions y = ax2 bx and y = ax + b, and then find out how a change in parameter a from 1 to 4 and a change in parameter b from 2 to 2 affect the shape and position of each graph

zoom, and certain other functions).

Drawing a Parabola A parabola can be drawn with either a horizontal or vertical orientation. The parabola type is determined by the direction of its principal axis.

A parabola with a horizontal axis is one whose principal axis is parallel to the x-axis. There are two possible equations for a parabola with a horizontal axis: x = A(y K)2 + H and x = Ay2 + By + C.

0401 To draw the parabola x = 2(y 1)2 2

A parabola with a vertical axis is one whose principal axis is parallel to the y-axis. There are two possible equations for a parabola with a vertical axis: y = A(x H)2 + K and y = Ax2 + Bx + C.

Chapter 4: Conics Application120

Drawing a Circle There are two forms that you can use to draw a circle.

One form is the standard form, which allows you to specify the center point and radius: (x H)2 + (y K)2 = R2

The other form is the general form, which allows you to specify the parameters of each term: Ax2 + Ay2 + Bx + Cy + D = 0

Drawing an Ellipse You can use the standard equation

( H)2

A2 + = 1

( K)2

5-1 Graphing a Differential Equation You can use the Differential Equation Graph application to graph a first order, a second order, or an nth-order differential equation.

Graphing a First Order Differential Equation This section explains how to input a first order differential equation, draw a slope field, and graph the solution curve(s).

A slope field is the family of solutions of a single, first order differential equation of the form y= f (x, y). It is a grid of solution lines where each line has the slope y for a given grid value of x and y. It is often referred to as a slope field or direction field because only the direction of the field at any given point in known, not the magnitude.

You can overlay, onto the slope field, solution curves of the first order differential equation input for given initial conditions on the [DiffEq] tab.

u To input a first order differential equation and draw a slope field

0501 To input y = y2 x and draw its slope field

uTo input initial conditions and graph the solution curves

0502 After performing the operation under example 0501 , to graph three solution curves for the initial conditions (xi, yi) = (0, 0), (0, 0.5), (0, 1)

Tip: You can specify whether or not a solution curve should be drawn for each initial condition input on the initial condition editor. Use the initial condition editor to select the check box to the left of each initial condition input box (Initial Condition 1, Initial Condition 2, etc.) whose solution curve you want to graph. The solution curve of any initial condition whose check box is not selected will not be graphed.

Chapter 5: Differential Equation Graph Application124

Graphing a Second Order Differential Equation This section explains how to input a second order differential equation, draw a phase plane, and graph the solution curve(s). With this application, a second order differential equation is input in the form of a set of two first order differential equations.

A phase plane is the family of solutions of either a second order differential equation or two first order differential equations of the form x = dx/dt = f (x, y) and y = dy/dt = g(x, y). A single second order differential equation can also be graphed, but it must be written as two first order differential equations.

You can overlay, onto the phase plane, solution curves of the second order differential equation input on the [DiffEq] tab for given initial conditions.

u To input a second order differential equation and draw a phase plane

0503 To input {x = x, y = y} and draw its phase plane

u To input initial conditions and graph the solution curves

0504 After performing the operation under example 0503 , to graph the solution curve of the initial condition (xi, yi) = (1, 1) Independent variable minimum value (tmin) = 7.7, maximum value (tmax) = 7.7, and initial value (t0) = 0

Graphing an Nth-order Differential Equation This section explains how to graph the solution curve(s) for an nth-order (higher order) differential equation based on specified initial conditions. With this application, an nth-order differential equation is input in the form of a set of multiple first order differential equations.

Note: For nth-order differential equations, only solution curves are drawn.

uTo input an nth-order differential equation and initial conditions, and then graph the solution curves

0505 To specify the three initial conditions (xi, y1i, y2i) = (0, 1, 0), (0, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0) for the differential equation y = x y, and graph its solution curves

Chapter 5: Differential Equation Graph Application125

Configuring and Modifying Initial Conditions You can modify an existing initial condition on the Differential Equation Graph window by dragging it. You can also configure a new initial condition on the Differential Equation Graph window by tapping the coordinates you want to specify as the new initial condition.

uTo modify an initial condition on the Differential Equation Graph window

1. Perform the operation under example 0505 , which will produce a graph like the one shown below to appear on the Differential Equation Graph window.

These dots are the currently configured initial conditions.

2. Tap [Analysis] - [Select] or G.

3. Tap one of the initial condition dots to select it, and then use the stylus to drag the dot to another location.

Here we will drag the bottom dot, which is the Initial Condition 1 setting (xi, y1i, y2i) = (0, 1, 0). The applicable initial condition will change to the coordinates of the location where you release the stylus after dragging the dot, and the solution curve will be redrawn accordingly.

uTo configure new initial conditions on the Differential Equation Graph window

1. Perform the operation under example 0501 to produce a slope field on the Differential Equation Graph window.

2. Tap [Analysis] - [Modify] or J.

Chapter 5: Differential Equation Graph Application126

3. On the Differential Equation Graph window, tap the coordinates that you want to specify as the new initial condition.

This will set the coordinates as the new initial condition and draw a solution curve.

The newly configured initial condition is added to the initial condition editor. To view it, tap the [IC] tab.

Configuring Differential Equation Graph View Window Parameters You can set a number of graphing parameters on the View Window dialog box. This dialog box contains two tabs.

The [Window] tab lets you set the window values and steps used for graphing a field. The [Solutions] tab contains parameters used for graphing solution curves.

uTo configure differential equation graph View Window settings

[Solutions] tab

The variable assignments available on the [Solutions] tab vary depending on the graph type selected with the Graph Editor. Some graph types have preset assignments for the independent, x-axis, and y-axis variables. If a value is preset for the current graph type the value will still be displayed on the Solutions tab, but you will not be able to change it.

Chapter 5: Differential Equation Graph Application127

Setting Description

Solution Dir. A solution curve is graphed starting at the initial condition value t0 and continues until it reaches a target value, which can be either tmin or tmax. The solution direction determines the target values. Forward will graph the solution curve from t0 to tmax. Backward will graph the solution curve from t0 to tmin. Both will graph the solution curve from t0 to tmin, and then t0 to tmax.

Independent Assignment of the independent variable for differential equations 1st-order, Nth-order: x or t 2nd-order: t (fixed)

t0 (or x0) If the independent variable is different from the x-axis variable, you can enter the initial value for the independent variable (2nd-order and Nth-order only).

tmin (or xmin), tmax (or xmax)

If the independent variable is different from the x-axis variable, you can enter the minimum/maximum value for the independent variable (2nd-order and Nth-order only).

x-Axis Variable assignment for the (horizontal) x-axis 1st-order: same as independent variable 2nd-order: x (fixed) Nth-order: independent variable or y1 through y10

y-Axis Variable assignment for the (vertical) y-axis 1st-order, 2nd-order: y (fixed) Nth-order: independent variable or y1 through y10

5-2 Drawing f (x) Type Function Graphs and Parametric Function Graphs

f (x) type function graphs and parametric function graphs can be overlaid on differential equation graphs.

uTo draw an f (x) type function graph

0506 To overlay a differential equation graph with the graphs of y = x2 and y = x2

uTo draw a parametric function graph

0507 To graph {xt = 3sin(t) + 1, yt = 3cos(t) + 1} (Angle unit setting: radian, 0 s t s 2)

5-3 Using Trace to Read Graph Coordinates The trace function let you read the coordinates on graphs drawn with the Differential Equation Graph application. There are three types of trace: point trace (shows the coordinates of any point), field trace (shows the coordinates of center of each field line), and graph/curve trace (shows the coordinates of points on a graph or solution curve).

uTo start a point trace

On the Differential Equation Graph window, tap K.

u To start a field trace

Draw a slope field (page 123) or a phase plane (page 124), and then tap L.

Chapter 5: Differential Equation Graph Application128

uTo start a graph/curve trace

1. Draw a solution curve (pages 123 through 124) or function graph (page 127).

2. Tap = or [Analysis] - [Trace].

5-4 Graphing an Expression or Value by Dropping It into the Differential Equation Graph Window

You can use the procedures in this section to graph an expression or value by dragging it from the eActivity application window or the Main application window, and dropping it into the Differential Equation Graph window.

To draw this type of graph: Drop this type of expression or value into the Differential Equation Graph window:

Slope field 1st-order differential equation in the form of y = f (x, y)

Solution curve(s) of a 1st- order differential equation

Matrix of initial conditions in the following form: [[x1, y(x1)][x2, y(x2)] .... [xn, y(xn)]]

Note that the Slope field should already be graphed on the Differential Equation Graph window before the matrix is dropped in. If it isnt, dropping in the matrix will simply plot points at the coordinates indicated by each (x, y) pair.

Regardless of whether or not the Slope field is already graphed, values in the dropped in matrix will be registered to the [IC] tab of the Differential Equation Editor.

Solution curve(s) of an nth- order differential equation

1) nth-order differential equation such as y + y + y = sin(x), followed by

2) Matrix of initial conditions in the following form: [[x1, y1(x1)][x2, y1(x2)] .... [xn, y1(xn)]] or [[x1, y1(x1), y2(x1)][x2, y1(x2), y2(x2)] .... [xn, y1(xn), y2(xn)]]

f (x) type function graph Function in the form y = f (x)

0508 To drag the 1st-order differential equation y = exp(x) + x2 and then the initial condition matrix [0, 1] from the eActivity application window to the Differential Equation Graph window, and graph the applicable slope field and solution curve

0509 To drag the nth-order differential equation y + y = exp(x) and then the initial condition matrix [[0, 1, 0] [0, 2, 0]] from the eActivity application window to the Differential Equation Graph window, and graph the applicable solution curves

Tip: An nth-order differential equation of the form f (y, y, x) dropped into the Differential Equation Graph window will be treated as f (y, y, x) = 0.

Determining the General Term of a Recursion Expression You can use the rSolve function to convert the sequence expressed by a recursion expression to the general term format an = f (n).

0602 To determine the general term of the recursion expression an+1 = an + 2, a1 = 1

About rSolve

The rSolve function returns the explicit formula of a sequence that is defined in relation to one or two previous terms, or a system of recursive formulas.

Syntax: rSolve (Eq, initial condition-1[, initial condition-2] [ ) ] rSolve ({Eq-1, Eq-2}, {initial condition-1, initial condition-2} [ ) ] (Eq: Equation)

Example: To obtain the n-th term of a recursion formula an+1 = 3an 1 with the initial conditions a1 = 1

Calculating the Sum of a Sequence Perform the following steps when you want to determine the sum of a specific range of the sequence of a recursion expression or a general term expression.

0603 To calculate the sum of the general term expression anE = n2 + 2n 1 in the range of 2 s n s 10

6-2 Graphing a Recursion ClassPad lets you graph the values in a number table you create, and draw a cobweb diagram from the recursion expression.

0604 To input the expression an+1 = 2an + 1, a1 = 1, create a number table, and graph the values in the table

While LinkTrace is active, the pointer on the Graph window jumps automatically to the point indicated by the coordinates in the currently selected table cell. Note that LinkTrace does not work when the selected cell is in the first column (column n).

Chapter 7: Statistics Application132

Chapter 7: Statistics Application The Statistics application provides you with the tools you need to perform the operations below.

Statistical data input (as list variables)

Statistical graph drawing: Single-variable statistical graphs and paired-variable statistical graphs

Statistical calculations: Single-variable, paired-variable, regression, test, confidence interval, and distribution calculations

Tip: Performing a statistical calculation, graphing operation or other operation causes calculation results to be assigned to pre-determined system variables. For more information, see the System Variable Table on page 299.

7-1 Using Stat Editor When you start up the Statistics application, the Stat Editor window shown to the right appears on the display.

Stat Editor is a tool for creating and maintaining lists (list variables), and it plays a very important role in ClassPad statistical calculations. ClassPad uses lists as data sources for statistical calculations and for statistical graphing. You can specify data by its list name.

The list name is located in the cell at the top of each list. The initial default Stat Editor window shows six lists (columns), named list1 through list6.

List name

Basic List Operations You can use the Stat Editor window to input and edit the data in the initially displayed list1 through list6. You can also recall list variables you created with the Main application* and create new list variables.

* See 0240 and 0241 in the separate Examples booklet.

uTo input data into a list

1. On the Stat Editor window, select the cell where you want to input the data item.

Use the cursor key to move the highlighting, or tap the cell with the stylus.

Cal' line (see Tip on the

next page)

Number of line where data is being input

Cell where data is being input

Input data

Chapter 7: Statistics Application133

2. Input the data you want.

You can input values, formulas, or variable names. If you input a formula, the value of the calculation result will be input into the list. If you input a variable name, the value currently assigned to the variable (or the variable name itself in the case of an undefined variable) will be input into the list.

After you input a formula into a cell, the calculation result will be displayed as a decimal value or a fraction in accordance with the Decimal Calculation setting of the Basic Format dialog box (page 36).

3. Press E to store the data in the cell.

Tip Inputting a formula that includes a list (page 57) into a Cal' line and then pressing E will cause the calculation result

list data to replace the contents currently in the list being input. For example, inputting {1,2,3}^2 into the Cal' line of list1 and then pressing E will cause list1 to be overwritten with {1,4,9}. Any data previously in list1 is lost.

A list can contain up to 9,999 rows.

A locked variable (page 30) causes the b icon to be displayed in the Cal' line, which cannot be edited.

uTo create a list

1. On the Stat Editor window, tap a list name cell to select it.

2. Enter up to eight bytes for the list name you want, and then press E.

This creates a list variable with the name you specified. After that, you can input data using the procedure under To input data into a list.

If you enter a list name that is already used for another list, pressing E displays the contents of that list.

u To open an existing list

1. On the Stat Editor window, select the list name cell of the column where you want the list you will open to appear.

Instead of the above operation, you could also select any cell in the column where you want the list you will open to appear and then tap [Edit] - [Open List].

2. Enter the variable name of the list you want to open, and then press E.

If you enter a variable name that does not match the names of any of the existing lists in step 1, a new list will be created using the name you entered.

uTo close a list

Select the list name cell of the column of the list you want to close, and then press KE.

Or, select any cell of the list you want to close, and then tap [Edit] - [Close List].

This operation clears the list from the display only. The list is still stored as a list variable in memory, and can be opened when you need it again.

* You can also specify the number of display columns using the [Cell Width Pattern] setting on the [Special] tab of the Graph Format dialog box (page 38).

Using CSV Files You can import the contents of a CSV file stored with the ClassPad or transferred from a computer into the Stat Editor. You also can save the contents of all the list data in the Stat Editor as a CSV file.

Import CSV File Requirements

A CSV file that has been output from the Stat Editor or Spreadsheet (Chapter 13), or a CSV file transferred from a computer to storage memory can be used for import. The following types of CSV files are supported for import.

A CSV file that uses the comma (,) or semi-colon (;) as its separator, and the period (.) or comma (,) as its decimal symbol. A CSV file that uses the tab as its separator is not supported.

CR, LF and CRLF are supported for the line break code.

For information about transferring files from a computer to the calculator, see 19-2 Performing Data Communication between the ClassPad and a Personal Computer.

Stat Editor Display and List Data Overwriting Following CSV File Import

When you import a CSV file into Stat Editor, everything displayed on the Stat Editor screen is cleared and replaced with the imported CSV file data.

The first column of the CSV file data is imported into the Stat Editor column 1 list (list 1), the second column of file data is imported into Stat Editor column 2 list (list 2), and so on. List data is created for each of the CSV file columns. Any data previously stored in a list is overwritten by the imported data.

Except for data that is overwritten by the CSV file import, current list data cleared from the Stat Editor screen by the import operation is retained in ClassPad memory.

uTo import the contents of a CSV file to the Stat Editor

1. Prepare the CSV file you want to import.

See Import CSV File Requirements described above.

2. While the Stat Editor is on the display, tap [Edit] - [CSV] - [Open CSV].

3. On the dialog box that appears, select the CSV file you want to import and then tap [Open].

Important! Importing a CSV file that has a large number of rows and/or columns may cause an insufficient memory error.

If this happens, reduce the number of rows and/or columns in the CSV file.

Following import, the contents of all cells that contain character strings are automatically replaced with 0.

uTo save the contents of all the list data in the Stat Editor as a single CSV file

1. While the Stat Editor is on the display, tap [Edit] - [CSV] - [Save CSV].

2. On the dialog box that appears, specify the export destination folder and then input a name for the export file.

3. Tap [Save].

Important! The list name line and Cal' line are not output to the CSV file.

Chapter 7: Statistics Application135

u To specify the CSV file separator and decimal symbol

1. While the Stat Editor is on the display, tap [Edit] - [CSV] - [CSV Format].

2. On the dialog box that appears, specify the desired settings for CSV Separator and CSV Decimal Symbol.

3. To save the settings, tap [OK].

7-2 Drawing a Statistical Graph Up to nine graphs, including single-variable data and paired-variable data statistical graphs can be drawn simultaneously ([SetGraph] - [StatGraph1] to [StatGraph9]).

In addition to graphs that can be drawn using [Set Graph], the graphs below can also be drawn at the same time.

Regression graphs (using [Linear Reg] and other regression commands on the [Calc] - [Regression] menu)

Function graphs (using the Graph & Table applications Graph Editor window)

Operation Flow Up to Statistical Graphing Drawing a statistical graph requires the following basic steps: (1) preparation of the list data to be used; (2) selection of the graph type and other graph settings; (3) drawing of the graph.

uTo prepare list data for statistical graphing

Prepare the list data using one of the patterns shown below.

Single Variable Paired Variable

Without frequency With frequency Without frequency With frequency

Single list Two lists Two lists Three lists

Data Data Frequency Paired data Paired data Frequency

Tip Single-variable data is data that consists of a single value. If you are trying to obtain the average height of the members

of a single class, for example, the single-variable would be height. With paired-variable statistical data there are two values for each data item. An example of paired-variable statistical data would be the change in size of an iron bar as its temperature changes. One variable would be temperature, and the other variable is the corresponding bar size.

If you created user list data with another application, open it in the Stat Editor window. For more information, see To open an existing list (page 133). You can specify a list displayed in the Stat Editor window as data to be used for statistical graphing.

You can display up to 99 lists on the Stat Editor window.

Chapter 7: Statistics Application136

u To configure statistical graph settings

1. On the Stat Editor window, tap [SetGraph] - [Setting] or tap G.

This displays the Set StatGraphs dialog box. There are tabs named 1 through 9 that correspond to StatGraph1 through StatGraph9.

Each tab is assigned a color. Tabs [1] and [6]: Blue; Tabs [2] and [7]: Red; Tabs [3] and [8]: Green; Tabs [4] and [9]: Magenta; Tab [5]: Black

2. Tap the tab for the StatGraph setup whose configuration you want to change.

3. Configure the StatGraph setup settings you want as described below.

Draw: Select the On setting if you want to draw the tabs graph, or Off if you do not want to draw it. After closing the dialog box, tap y on the toolbar to execute the graph draw operation.

Type: Selects the type of graph to be drawn. The types of graphs available for selection depend on whether the graph data is single-variable or paired-variable.

Single-variable NPPlot, Histogram, MedBox, NDist, Broken

Paired-variable Scatter, xyLine, LinearR, MedMed, QuadR, CubicR, QuartR, LogR, ExpR, abExpR, PowerR, SinR, LogisticR

For details about each graph type, see Graphing Single-Variable Statistical Data (page 136) and Graphing Paired-Variable Statistical Data (page 137).

XList, YList, Freq: Specifies the list data to be used for graphing. If you prepared frequency list data, use Freq to specify the frequency list.

Mark: This setting is supported only when Scatter, xyLine, or NPPlot is specified for Type. Select square (q), cross (w), large dot (;) or dot (') as the shape for graph lot points.

4. Tap [Set] to apply the settings for the tab you selected in step 2.

uTo draw a statistical graph

1. On the Stat Editor window, tap [SetGraph], and then confirm that there is at least one item from [StatGraph1] to [StatGraph9] whose check box is selected.

If no check box is selected, select at least one check box. Selecting multiple check boxes will cause the corresponding graphs to be drawn simultaneously.

2. Configure the a - [Stat Window Auto] - [On] / [Off] setting as required.

Selecting [On] for this setting configures View Window settings for drawing statistical graphs automatically. See Graph Format Dialog Box (page 38) for details.

3. Tap y to display the Stat Graph window and draw the statistical graphs.

list1 = 0.5, 1.2, 2.4, 4.0, 5.2 list2 = 2.1, 0.3, 1.5, 2.0, 2.4

Graphing Single-Variable Statistical Data You can produce any of the graphs described below using single-variable data. The text in the parentheses of the graph names below shows text that appears on the Type menu of the Set StatGraphs dialog box.

Normal Probability Plot (NPPlot) The normal probability plot plots data against a theoretical normal distribution using a scatter plot. If the scatter plot is close to a straight line, then the data is approximately normal. A departure from the straight line indicates a departure from normality.

Chapter 7: Statistics Application137

Med-Box Plot (MedBox) This type of graph is often called a Box and Whisker graph. It lets you see how a large number of data items are grouped within specific ranges. The lines from minX to Q1, and from Q3 to maxX are called whiskers. If [Show Outliers] box is checked on the Set StatGraphs dialog box (page 136), outlier square symbols are shown instead of whisker lines where a data value is relatively large or small compared to the other data values.

minX Q1 Med Q3 maxX

Normal Distribution Curve (NDist) The normal distribution curve is graphed using the following normal distribution function.

y = 1

2 e

2 2

(xx) 2

Histogram Bar Graph (Histogram), Broken Line Graph (Broken) A histogram shows the frequency (frequency distribution) of each data class as a rectangular bar. Classes are on the horizontal axis, while frequency is on the vertical axis.

In the broken line graph, lines connect the pointers that fall at the center of each histogram bar.

The Set Interval dialog box appears before the graph is drawn. You can use this dialog box to change the start value (HStart) and step value (HStep) of the histogram, if you want.

Graphing Paired-Variable Statistical Data You can produce any of the graphs described below using paired-variable data. The text in the parentheses of the graph names below shows text that appears in the Type menu of the Set StatGraphs dialog box (page 136).

kPlot graphs

Draws graphs by plotting paired-variable points with x data on the horizontal axis and y data on the vertical axis.

Scatter plot (Scatter) xy line graph (xyLine)

Chapter 7: Statistics Application138

k Regression graphs

Regression graphs of each of the paired-variable data can be drawn according to the model formulas under Regression types below.

Linear regression graph Quadratic regression graph Logistic regression graph

Regression types:

Linear regression (LinearR) [Linear Reg] .............................................................. y = ax + b, y = a + bx Linear regression uses the method of least squares to determine the equation that best fits your data points, and returns values for the slope and y-intercept. The graphic representation of this relationship is a linear regression graph.

Med-Med line (MedMed) [MedMed Line] ...................................................................................y = ax + b When you suspect that the data contains extreme values, you should use the Med-Med graph (which is based on medians) in place of the linear regression graph. Med-Med graph is similar to the linear regression graph, but it also minimizes the effects of extreme values.

Quadratic regression (QuadR) [Quadratic Reg] .............................................................y = ax2 + bx + c

Cubic regression (CubicR) [Cubic Reg] ................................................................y = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d

Quartic regression (QuartR) [Quartic Reg] .................................................y = ax4 + bx3 + cx2 + dx + e Quadratic, cubic, and quartic regression graphs use the method of least squares to draw a curve that passes the vicinity of as many data points as possible. These graphs can be expressed as quadratic, cubic, and quartic regression expressions.

Logarithmic regression (LogR) [Logarithmic Reg] ....................................................................a + bln(x) Logarithmic regression expresses y as a logarithmic function of x. The normal logarithmic regression formula is y = a + bln(x). If we say that X = ln(x), then this formula corresponds to the linear regression formula y = a + bX.

aebx Exponential regression (ExpR) [Exponential Reg].............................................................y = aebx

Exponential regression can be used when y is proportional to the exponential function of x. The normal exponential regression formula is y = aebx. If we obtain the natural logarithms of both sides, we get ln(y) = ln(a) + bx. Next, if we say that Y = ln(y) and A = In(a), the formula corresponds to the linear regression formula Y = A + bx.

ab x Exponential regression (abExpR) [abExponential Reg] ........................................................y = abx

Exponential regression can be used when y is proportional to the exponential function of x. The normal exponential regression formula in this case is y = abx. If we take the natural logarithms of both sides, we get ln(y) = ln(a) + (ln(b))x. Next, if we say that Y = ln(y), A = ln(a) and B = ln(b), the formula corresponds to the linear regression formula Y = A + Bx.

Power regression (PowerR) [Power Reg] ......................................................................................y = axb

Power regression can be used when y is proportional to the power of x. The normal power regression formula is y = axb. If we obtain the logarithms of both sides, we get ln(y) = ln(a) + bln(x). Next, if we say that X = ln(x), Y = ln(y), and A = ln(a), the formula corresponds to the linear regression formula Y = A + bX.

Sinusoidal regression (SinR) [Sinusoidal Reg] ........................................................y = asin(bx + c) + d Sinusoidal regression is best for data that repeats at a regular fixed interval over time.

Chapter 7: Statistics Application139

Logistic regression (LogisticR) [Logistic Reg] .................................................................... y = c 1 + aebx

Logistic regression is best for data whose values continually increase over time, until a saturation point is reached.

Tip: Though ClassPad internally performs regression calculations after drawing a regression graph using the settings of the Set StatGraphs dialog box (page 136), the calculation results (regression formula coefficients and other values) cannot be displayed. To display regression calculation results, use the commands on the [Calc] - [Regression] menu, which are shown in square brackets ([ ]) above.

Overlaying a Regression Graph on a Scatter Plot You can use the Set StatGraphs dialog box (page 136) to plot a scatter plot* from paired-variable data and then overlay a regression graph on it. This means you can visually determine which regression formula is closest to the scatter plot. * You can also overlay on other graph types as well.

uClassPad Operation

1. Draw the scatter plot. Here we will use the operation under 0701 in the separate Examples booklet.

2. On the [Calc] - [Regression] menu, select one of the regression calculation commands (from [Linear Reg] to [Logistic Reg]).

Here we will select [Logarithmic Reg]. This displays the Set Calculation dialog box.

3. Here, we want to overlay on a scatter plot, so we specify XList, YList, and Freq the same as in step 1 of the procedure for drawing a scatter plot.

4. Tap [OK].

This displays the Stat Calculation dialog box. For information about this dialog boxs contents, see Performing Regression Calculations (page 143).

5. Tap [OK].

This draws the regression calculation graph over the scatter plot. This regression graph is always drawn in blue.

You can perform trace (page 111) on a regression graph. Trace scroll, however, is not supported when a scatter plot is displayed.

Tip When performing Sinusoidal regression, make sure that Radian is selected for the [Angle] setting on the Basic Format

dialog box (page 36). The graph cannot be drawn correctly when the [Angle] setting is anything other than Radian.

When performing Sinusoidal regression or Logistic regression, certain types of data may cause calculation to take a long time. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Chapter 7: Statistics Application140

Whenever you perform a regression calculation from the [Calc] - [Regression] menu, the [Previous Reg] check box on the [SetGraph] menu is selected automatically. This tells ClassPad to remember the calculation results produced by the last executed regression calculation command (the menu command selected in step 2 of the above procedure). As long as the [Previous Reg] check box is selected, any time you draw a new graph, it is drawn based on the last regression calculation results. To cancel drawing of this regression graph, clear the check box next to [Previous Reg] before re-drawing the graph.

Overlaying a Function Graph on a Statistical Graph You can overlay an existing statistical graph with any type of function graph.

Function graphs that can be overlaid are graphs of functions registered on the Graph Editor window of the Graph & Table application (Chapter 3). The Graph Editor window can also be accessed from the Statistics application.

uClassPad Operation

1. Draw a statistical graph as described under Operation Flow Up to Statistical Graphing (page 135).

2. Tap ! to display the Graph Editor window.

3. Input the function.

4. Select the check boxes of all the functions you want to graph, and clear the check boxes of all the functions you do not want to graph.

7-3 Performing Basic Statistical Calculations Mean, standard deviation, and other statistical values can be obtained from single-variable data and paired- variable data. Regression calculation can also be performed on paired-variable data. All of these calculations are performed using [Calc] menu commands.

Calculating Statistical Values You can use the procedure below to display a lists of various single-variable and paired-variable statistical values.

uTo display single-variable calculation results

1. On the Stat Editor window or Stat Graph window, tap [Calc] - [One-Variable].

2. On the dialog box that appears, specify the [XList] name, select the [Freq] setting, and then tap [OK].

This displays the dialog box with the single-variable statistical calculation results described below.

o: sample mean

x: sum of data

x2: sum of squares

x: population standard deviation

sx: sample standard deviation

n: sample size

minX: minimum

Q1: first quartile

Med: median

Q3: third quartile

maxX: maximum

Mode: mode*

ModeN: number of data mode items

ModeF: data mode frequency

* If Mode = 'ModeStat is displayed, it means that solutions are stored in the ModeStat system variable. To view the ModeStat contents, tap any list name cell on the Stat Editor window, input ModeStat, and then press E.

Calculation Methods for Q1, Q3 and Median

Q1 and Q3 can be calculated in accordance with the [Q1, Q3 on Data] setting on the Basic Format dialog box (page 36) as described below.

[Q1, Q3 on Data] unchecked:

(a) When all Frequency values are integers

With this calculation method, processing depends on whether the number of elements n in the population is an even number or odd number.

Example: n = 8 Example: n = 9 Lower half group Upper half group Lower half group Upper half group

2 4 + 5

MedianQ1 Q3

2 2 + 3

2 6 + 7

Median

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Q3

2 7 + 8

Q1

2 2 + 3

When n is an even number, using the center point of the total population as the reference, the population elements are divided into two groups: a lower half group and an upper half group. Q1 and Q3 then become the values described below.

Q1 = {median of the group of n/2 items from the bottom of the population}

Q3 = {median of the group of n/2 items from the top of the population}

Median = {center point of the total population}

Chapter 7: Statistics Application142

When n is an odd number, using the median of the total population as the reference, the population elements are divided into two groups: values less than the median and values greater than the median. The median value is excluded. Q1 and Q3 then become the values described below.

Q1 = {median of the group of (n 1)/2 items from the bottom of the population}

Q3 = {median of the group of (n 1)/2 items from the top of the population}

Median = {center point of the total population}

When n = 1, Q1 = Q3 = Median = population center point.

(b) When Frequency includes decimal fraction values

The Q1, Q3 and Median values for this calculation method are described below.

Q1 = {value of element whose cumulative frequency ratio is greater than 1/4 and nearest to 1/4}

When the cumulative frequency ratio for some data value is exactly 0.25, Q1 is the average of that data value and the next data value.

Q3 = {value of element whose cumulative frequency ratio is greater than 3/4 and nearest to 3/4}

When the cumulative frequency ratio for some data value is exactly 0.75, Q3 is the average of that data value and the next data value.

Median = {value of element whose cumulative frequency ratio is greater than 1/2 and nearest to 1/2}

When the cumulative frequency ratio for some data value is exactly 0.5, Median is the average of that data value and the next data value.

The following shows an actual example of the above.

Data Value Frequency Cumulative Frequency Cumulative Frequency Ratio

1 0.1 0.1 0.1/1.0 = 0.1

2 0.1 0.2 0.2/1.0 = 0.2

3 0.2 0.4 0.4/1.0 = 0.4

4 0.3 0.7 0.7/1.0 = 0.7

5 0.1 0.8 0.8/1.0 = 0.8

6 0.1 0.9 0.9/1.0 = 0.9

7 0.1 1.0 1.0/1.0 = 1.0

3 is the value whose cumulative frequency ratio is greater than 1/4 and nearest to 1/4, so Q1 = 3.

5 is the value whose cumulative frequency ratio is greater than 3/4 and nearest to 3/4, so Q3 = 5.

4 is the value whose cumulative frequency ratio is greater than 1/2 and nearest to 1/2, so Median = 4.

[Q1, Q3 on Data] checked (default):

The Q1, Q3 and Median values for this calculation method are described below.

Q1 = {value of element whose cumulative frequency ratio is greater than or equal to 1/4 and nearest to 1/4}

Q3 = {value of element whose cumulative frequency ratio is greater than or equal to 3/4 and nearest to 3/4}

The following shows an actual example of the above. (Number of Elements: 10)

Data Value Frequency Cumulative Frequency Cumulative Frequency Ratio

1 1 1 1/10 = 0.1

2 1 2 2/10 = 0.2

5 1 8 8/10 = 0.8

6 1 9 9/10 = 0.9

7 1 10 10/10 = 1.0

Chapter 7: Statistics Application143

3 is the value whose cumulative frequency ratio is greater than or equal to 1/4 and nearest to 1/4, so Q1 = 3.

5 is the value whose cumulative frequency ratio is greater than or equal to 3/4 and nearest to 3/4, so Q3 = 5.

Tests The Z Test provides a variety of different tests based on standard deviation based tests. They make it possible to test whether or not a sample accurately represents the population when the standard deviation of a population (such as the entire population of a country) is known from previous tests. The t Test is used instead of the Z Test when the population standard deviation is unknown. You can also perform 2 Test, ANOVA (analysis of variance), and other test calculations.

The following describes the ClassPad commands for executing each type of statistical test calculation. It includes the calculation formula used and a general overview of each command.

1-Sample Z Test .... [Test] - [One-Sample Z-Test] ..... z = (o 0)/(/'n )

Tests a single sample mean against the known mean of the null hypothesis when the population standard deviation is known. The normal distribution is used for the 1-Sample Z test.

0702 To specify 0, = 3 for n (sample size) = 48, o (sample mean) = 24.5 data and perform a 1-Sample Z Test

2-Sample Z Test .... [Test] - [Two-Sample Z-Test] .....

Tests the difference between two means when the standard deviations of the two populations are known. The normal distribution is used for the 2-Sample Z test.

1-Proportion Z Test .... [Test] - [One-Prop Z-Test] ..... z = (x/n p0)/ p0(1 p0)/n

Tests a single sample proportion against the known proportion of the null hypothesis. The normal distribution is used for the 1-Proportion Z test.

2-Proportion Z Test .... [Test] - [Two-Prop Z-Test] ..... z = (x1/n1 x2/n2)/ p (1 p )(1/n1 + 1/n2)

Tests the difference between two sample proportions. The normal distribution is used for the 2-Proportion Z test.

1-Sample t Test .... [Test] - [One-Sample t-Test] ..... t = (o 0)/(sx/'n )

Tests a single sample mean against the known mean of the null hypothesis when the population standard deviation is unknown. The t distribution is used for the 1-Sample t test.

2-Sample t Test .... [Test] - [Two-Sample t-Test]

Tests the difference between two means when the standard deviations of the two populations are unknown. The t distribution is used for the 2-Sample t test.

When the two population standard deviations are equal (pooled)

= (o1 o2)/ s2(1/1 + 1/2) = 1 + 2 2 s = ((1 1)s1

2 + (2 1)s2 2)/(1 + 2 2)

When the two population standard deviations are not equal (not pooled)

= (o1 o2)/ s1 2/1 + s2

Linear Regression t Test .... [Test] - [Linear Reg t-Test] ..... = ( 2)/(1 2)

= ( o)( p)/ ( o)2 = p o

n: sample size (nt3)

Tests the linear relationship between the paired variables (x, y). The method of least squares is used to determine a and b, which are the coefficients of the regression formula y = a + bx. The p-value is the probability of the sample regression slope (b) provided that the null hypothesis is true, " = 0. The t distribution is used for the linear regression t test.

Chapter 7: Statistics Application148

2 Test (Chi-square Test) .... [Test] - [2 Test] ....

Tests the independence of two categorical variables arranged in matrix form. The 2 test for independence compares the observed matrix to the expected theoretical matrix. The 2 distribution is used for the 2 test.

The minimum size of the matrix is 1 2. An error occurs if the matrix has only one column.

The result of the expected frequency calculation is stored in the system variable named Expected.

Tests the ratio between sample variances of two independent random samples. The F distribution is used for the 2-Sample F test.

One-Way ANOVA (analysis of variance) .... [Test] - [One-Way ANOVA]

Tests the hypothesis that the population means of multiple populations are equal. It compares the mean of one or more groups based on one independent variable or factor.

0706 To use Factor A data of list1 = {7,4,6,6,5}, list2 = {6,5,5,8,7}, and list3 = {4,7,6,7,6}, and perform One- Way ANOVA

Tip To perform One-Way ANOVA using the wizard, you need to create up to six sets of list data (Factor A level 1 data, level 2

data, etc.). Specify the list data on the wizard screen and perform the calculation.

One-Way ANOVA can also be performed using a program command (see the example 1209 under Including Statistical Graphing and Calculation Functions in a Program on page 225). To perform One-Way ANOVA using a program command, you need to create a DependentList that includes all Factor A level data (level1, level2, etc.) and a FactorList(A) that specifies the levels for each of the blocks of data in the DependentList. If you use the program command to perform the same test as shown in the example above, the two lists would be as shown below.

DependentList: {7,4,6,6,5,6,5,5,8,7,4,7,6,7,6} ... (All level 1, level 2, and level 3 data)

FactorList(A): {1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3} ... (Levels of each block of data)

Two-Way ANOVA .... [Test] - [Two-Way ANOVA]

Tests the hypothesis that the population means of multiple populations are equal. It examines the effect of each variable independently as well as their interaction with each other based on a dependent variable.

0707 The values in the table below are measurement results that show how the durability of a metal product is affected by changes in heat treatment time (A) and temperature (B). Experiments were conducted twice under each condition.

Temperature B1 Temperature B2

Time A1 113, 116 139, 132

Time A2 133, 131 126, 122

Perform analysis of variance on the null hypotheses listed below, using a 5% level of significance.

H0: Change in time does not affect durability.

H0: Change in treatment temperature does not affect durability.

H0: Changes in time and treatment temperature do not affect durability.

Use the Two-Way ANOVA test to test the above hypotheses. Input the following measurement data into the indicated lists. This data is from the table above.

list1 = {113, 116} (Factor A1 B1), list2 = {139, 132} (Factor A1 B2)

list3 = {133, 131} (Factor A2 B1), list4 = {126, 122} (Factor A2 B2)

Tip To perform Two-Way ANOVA using the wizard, you need to create list data in the

quantity of data table vertical (number of Factor A levels) horizontal (number of Factor B levels). Specify the list data on the wizard screen and perform the calculation. The dimensions that can be specified for Factor A Factor B are shown in the screen to the right.

Two-Way ANOVA can also be performed using a program command (see the example 1210 under Including Statistical Graphing and Calculation Functions in a Program on page 225). To perform Two-Way ANOVA using a program command, create a DependentList that includes all Factor A Factor B level data, and FactorList(A) and FactorList(B) lists that specify the levels for each of the blocks of data in the DependentList. If you use the program command to perform the same test as shown in the example above, the three lists would be as shown below.

DependentList = {113,116,139,132,133,131,126,122}

FactorList(A) = { 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2 }

FactorList(B) = { 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2 }

Confidence Intervals A confidence interval is a range of values that has a specified probability of containing the parameter being estimated. A confidence interval that is too broad makes it difficult to get an idea of where the parameter (actual value) is located. A narrow confidence interval, on the other hand, limits the parameter range and makes it possible to obtain highly accurate results.

The commonly used confidence levels are 68%, 95% and 99%. With a confidence interval of 95%, for example, there is a 5% probability that a parameter will not be within the interval.

The following describes the ClassPad commands for executing each type of confidence interval calculation. It includes an overview of each command and the formulas to obtain the confidence interval lower limit (Lower) and upper limit (Upper).

Distributions There is a variety of different types of distribution, but the most well-known is normal distribution, which is essential for performing statistical calculations. Normal distribution is a symmetrical distribution centered on the greatest occurrences of mean data (highest frequency), with the frequency decreasing as you move away from the center. Poisson distribution, geometric distribution, and various other distribution shapes are also used, depending on the data type.

Tip: Though list data can be used within the argument of a Distribution function (page 85), list data cannot be used in the argument of the Statistics Wizard operations described here.

The following describes the ClassPad commands for executing each type of distribution calculation. It includes the calculation formula used and a general overview of each command.

Normal Probability Density .... [Distribution] - [Normal PD]

Chapter 8: Geometry Application156

Chapter 8: Geometry Application The Geometry application allows you to draw and analyze geometric figures. For example, you can draw a circle and then draw a line that is tangent to a particular point on the circle. The Geometry application also includes an animation feature that lets you watch how a figure changes in accordance with conditions you define.

Starting up the Geometry application displays a large white Geometry window. Use this window to draw the figures you want. If you left figures on the Geometry window the last time you exited the Geometry application, those figures will appear the next time you start it up.

In the case of the line segment, for example, you can view its length, slope, direction, and equation.

Specifying and Constraining a Measurement of a Figure The following example shows how to specify and constrain (fix) an angle of a triangle. By constraining a measurement we mean that it becomes fixed. For example, constraining (fixing) angle B of triangle ABC at 90 degrees will cause angle B to remain at 90 degrees regardless of where the apex is moved.

uTo specify and constrain the measure of an angle of a triangle*

1. Draw the triangle, and then select its side AB and side BC.

2. Tap u on the toolbar to display the measurement box.

This displays the measure of angle B in the measurement box.

Chapter 8: Geometry Application172

3. Input 90 into the measurement box and press E.

This specifies and constrains the measure of angle B at 90 degrees.

A highlighted check box indicates the measurement is constrained (fixed).

* In this example, the [Measure Angle] setting of the Geometry Format dialog box (page 40) is set to Degree.

Tip: To cancel the constraint of a measurement value fixed using the above operation, tap the check box to the right of the measurement box to unhighlight it. Each tap of the check box toggles the measurement value between fixed and unfixed.

uTo clear all settings constrained with the measurement box

Tap [Edit] and then [Clear Constraints].

Using Sliders Sliders can be displayed and used to change the settings of the objects in the table below. Select the desired object and then display its slider using the procedure following the table.

For this type of selected object(s): This type of slider can be displayed:

Any two sides of a polygon or two line segments Angle, supplementary angle

Two points on one figure or two different figures, or a single line segment or a vector

Length

Single circle or arc Radius

u To display a slider

1. Select the required object(s), as described in the table above.

2. Tap [Draw] - [Slider]. On the sub-menu that appears, select the type of measurement ([Angle], [Supplementary Angle], [Length], [Radius]) you want to perform with the slider.

The items that appear on the sub-menu depend on the object you select in step 1 of this procedure.

Note: Instead of step 2 in the above procedure, you could also perform the steps below to display a slider.

(1) Tap u on the toolbar to display the measurement box.

(2) Tap the down arrow to the right of icon palette on measurement box and then a.

2. Tap the upper left corner of the slider display box.

3. On the menu that appears, tap [Settings].

4. On the Slider Settings dialog box that appears, display the tab for the measurement you want to change. The dialog box has four tabs: [Angle], [SuppAngl] (supplementary angle),

[Length], and [Radius]. You can select any of the tabs and change its settings, regardless of the measurement controlled by the slider you selected in step 1 of this procedure.

5. Input values for Min (minimum value), Max (maximum value), and Step (step value).

For the Angle and SuppAngl tabs, you should input a value in the angle unit (degrees, radians, or grads) currently specified by the Measure Angle setting on the Geometry Format dialog box. The input range depends on the current angle unit setting: 0 to 180 for degrees, 0 to for radians, and 0 to 200 for grads. Attempting to input a value that is outside the current allowable range will automatically change the input value so it is within range.

On the Length and Radius tab, input a value that is greater than zero.

To return the setting values on the currently displayed tab to their initial values, tap the [Default] button. Refer to the Initial Defaults table for information about default settings.

6. After configuring the settings you want, tap [OK] to save them.

This closes the Slider Settings dialog box.

This displays the changed name on the screen as shown here.

8-4 Working with Animations An animation consists of one or more point/curve pairs, in which the curve can be a line segment, circle, ellipse, or function. You build an animation by selecting a point/curve pair, and then adding it to an animation.

Using Animation Commands You can build and run an animation either by executing menu commands or by using the animation toolbar that appears when you tap [View] and then [Animation UI].

[Edit] [Animate] [View] [Animation UI]

Add Animation

Trace

Go (repeat)

Stop

Animation toolbar

Replace Animation

Go (once)

Go (to and fro)

Most of the procedures in this section are performed using the [Animate] submenu.

All of the [Animate] menu commands can be accessed from the animation toolbar, except for [Edit] - [Animate] - [Edit Animations].

To close the animation toolbar and return to the normal toolbar, tap the = button on the right side of the animation toolbar, or tap [View] and then [Animation UI].

Chapter 8: Geometry Application175

uTo add an animation and run it

1. Plot a point and draw a figure (here we draw a parallelogram). Or, you could draw a circle, arc, ellipse, line segment, or function instead of a figure.

2. Select the point and a side of the parallelogram.

3. Tap [Edit], [Animate], and then [Add Animation].

The point selected in step 2 moves along the side of the parallelogram.

4. Tap [Edit], [Animate], and then [Go (once)], [Go (repeat)], or [Go (to and fro)].

Point A moves along side CD.

5. Tap [Edit], [Animate], and then [Stop] to stop the animation.

You can also stop the animation by tapping l on the icon panel.

uTo replace the current animation with a new one

1. Select the point and curve for the new animation.

2. Tap [Edit], [Animate], and then [Replace Animation].

This discards the currently set animation and sets up an animation for a new point and curve set. Tap [Edit], [Animate], and then [Go (once)] to see your new animation.

uTo trace a locus of points

Note: Using trace leaves a trail of points when the animation is run. The procedure below is a continuation of the procedure under To add an animation and run it.

1. Draw a line segment that connects point A with apex B.

2. Draw the center point of line segment AB.

Select line segment and then tap [Draw] - [Construct] - [Midpoint].

3. Select the center point of line segment AB (point F) and then tap [Edit] - [Animate] - [Trace].

4. Tap [Edit], [Animate], and then [Go (once)].

This draws a line using point F as the locus, that is parallel to and whose length is half that of side CD of the parallelogram.

0805 To create an animation that traces the locus of specific points

Chapter 8: Geometry Application176

uTo edit an animation

Note: The steps below continue from the procedure under To trace a locus of points.

1. While the animation you want to edit is on the display, tap [Edit], [Animate], and then [Edit Animations].

This displays the animation editing window in the lower window. The upper window contains the animation that we just completed in To trace a locus of points.

2. Edit the animation following the procedure below.

Steps: This setting specifies how many steps point A takes to move along side CD. The initial default value is 20, which can be changed to value from 2 to 100.

Animations: The A under Animations indicates that point A is the point moved by the animation. When you are building multiple animations, a list of all applicable points appears here.

Tapping [Remove] deletes the applicable animation.

t0 and t1 specify the range of movement of point A on side CD. The initial default values are t0 = 0 and t1 = 1. During animation, the length of CD is considered to be one unit. The default values specify that movement of point A is from start point C (point where length equals 0) up to end point D (point where length equals 1).

Changing the value of t0 to 0.5, for example, causes point A to move from the middle of side CD to point D. Changing the value of t0 to 1, causes point A to begin at a point outside side CD (in this case, at a point a distance equivalent to the length of side CD) and ending with point D.

Traces: This item shows the specified trace point. Tapping [Remove] cancels the trace point setting.

3. While the lower window is active, tap C to close the animation editing window.

uTo view an animation table

Note: The steps below continue from the procedure under To trace a locus of points.

1. Tap line segment AB, which connects point A with apex B, to select it.

2. Tap u on the toolbar to display the measurement box.

This displays the measurement of line segment AB in the measurement box.

3. Tap # next to the measurement box.

This displays a table showing the length of line segment AB for each animation step in the bottom half of the screen.

Chapter 8: Geometry Application177

4. Next, lets add a column to the table that shows the area of triangle ABE at each step. Perform the steps below.

(1) Draw a line segment that connects point A with apex E.

(2) Select line segment AB, line segment AE, and side BE.

(3) Tap # next to the measurement box. This adds a column that shows the area of triangle ABE at each step. (As can be seen, the area of triangle ABE does not change even when point A moves.)

8-5 Using the Geometry Application with Other Applications

You can display the Geometry application from within the eActivity or Main application. This feature allows you to visualize the relationship between Algebra and Geometry. You can, for example, drag a figure from the Geometry window to the eActivity window to see its corresponding mathematical expression.

Drag and Drop When you open Geometry within another application, you can drag and drop information between the two application windows. You can see an actual example ( 0243 ) of how this is done using the Main application in Chapter 2 of this manual.

The information that appears when you drop a figure into another application depends on the figure you are dragging. Many of the possible outcomes are listed in the table below.

Geometric Figure Drag and drop into another application transforms to: *1

Point Ordered pair Yes

Line Segment, Infinite Line, Ray

Linear equation Yes

Vector Ordered pair (head of vector, assuming the tail is at the origin) No

Circle, Arc Equation of a circle Yes

Ellipse Equation of an ellipse Yes

Function ( y = f (x)) Equation of the function Yes

Two Lines System of equations No

Polygon, or open polygon created by animation

Matrix containing each vertex point No

Pairs of points related by a transformation

Expression showing point relationship No

*1 Support for drag and drop into a Geometry Link row in an eActivity. For details about a Geometry Link row, see Inserting a Geometry Link Row on page 184.

Copy and Paste In addition to drag and drop, you can also copy figures or columns from an animation table and paste them into another application.

Chapter 9: Numeric Solver Application178

Chapter 9: Numeric Solver Application Numeric Solver application lets you obtain the value of any variable in an equation without transforming or simplifying the equation.

Starting up the Numeric Solver displays the Numeric Solver window. The screen to the right shows an example of the window with a sample equation input.

1 Equation input area. Inputting an equation that includes variables and then pressing E will cause 2 and 3 to appear.

2 Equation variables. Input the initial value of each variable to the right of the equals sign (=). Specify the variable you want to solve for by selecting the option button to the left of it.

3 Solution lower limit and upper limit input area*

4 Current convergence range setting*

* Values shown in the sample screen are initial defaults.

Numeric Solver Application-Specific Menus and Buttons Solve the input equation for the specified variable ...................................................... Solve - Execute or 1

Clear all single-character variables (a through z)* ....................................................................a - Clear az

Initialize the upper boundary and lower boundary ...........................................................a - Initialize Bound

Change the convergence range ..........................................................................................a - Convergence

* Performing the Clear az operation clears all single-character variables, regardless of variable data type. Programs and functions with file names from a through z are also cleared.

Inputting an Equation On the Numeric Solver window, input a single equation into the area under Equation.

Use the soft keyboard to input an equation that contains at least one variable.

If you do not input an equals sign, the ClassPad assumes that the expression is to the left of the equals sign, and there is a zero to the right.

Solving an Equation Numeric Solver solves equations by calculating approximations based on Newtons method. Because of this, you should keep the following points in mind about its solutions.

Even if an equation has multiple solutions, only one solution is obtained for a particular Numeric Solver operation. For example, x21 = 0 has the two solutions 1 and 1. Numeric Solver will display either of the solutions first, depending on the value specified by Lower and Upper.

Solutions may include errors that are not actual solutions. The accuracy of solutions can be determined by viewing the [LeftRight] value in the Result dialog box. The closer the [LeftRight] value is to zero, the more accurate the results.

Chapter 9: Numeric Solver Application179

uTo solve an equation

1. On the Numeric Solver window, input an equation.

Here, we will input the equation y = x2 2, and solve for x when y = 0 and y = 2.

2. Press E.

3. Input 2 as the values for variable y (to the right of y=).

4. Since we want to solve for x, select the option button to the left of variable x (so the button next to the variable becomes ).

5. Tap 1.

This displays the Result dialog box with the calculation result. Tap [OK] to close the dialog box.

6. Input 0 as the values for variable y (to the right of y=).

7. Tap 1.

Though the solution of x2 2 = 0 is x = 2, here the value that is displayed is the decimal form of 2, which is near the last solution obtained (x = 2).

To obtain the other solution, change the Upper value (to 0, for example) and then tap 1.

0901 t is the time it would take for an object thrown straight up with initial velocity v to reach height h. Use the formula h = vt 1/2 gt2 to calculate the initial velocity v for a height of h = 14 meters and a time of t = 2 seconds. Gravitational acceleration is g = 9.8 m/s2.

Tip If ClassPad judges that the displayed results are not converging sufficiently, it displays the message Did not converge.

Do you wish to continue the calculation? Tap [Yes] to continue, or [No] to cancel the calculation.

If the message Cant solve! appears on the display, perform either (or both) of the operations below and then tap 1 again.

- Tap a - [Initialize Bound], or manually change the Lower and Upper values.

- Change the convergence range. See To change the convergence range below.

uTo change the convergence range

1. Tap a - [Convergence] to display the Convergence dialog box.

2. Enter an integer in the range of 1 to 13.

A smaller value increases the allowable error range, and lessens the chance of a Cant solve! error. If a calculation causes a Cant solve! error, try changing this setting to a smaller value.

3. Tap [OK] to apply the setting and close the dialog box.

The new setting value will be shown in the status bar (page 178).

Chapter 10: eActivity Application180

Chapter 10: eActivity Application The eActivity application lets you input and edit text, mathematical expressions, and ClassPad application data, and save your input in a file called an eActivity.

A basic eActivity can contain text along with application data, which is embedded as a row or a strip. A row can be a Text Row, a Calculation Row, or a Geometry Link. A strip can be an application data strip (Main, Graph & Table, Geometry, and so on).

10-1 Creating an eActivity

Basic Steps for Creating an eActivity 1. Start the eActivity application.

This displays the eActivity window as it appeared the last time it was used.

If you are already in the eActivity application and there is data on the display, tap [File] and then [New]. Note that [New] clears data from the display without saving it.

Chapter 10: eActivity Application181

2. On the eActivity window, insert the text, expressions, application data, and other data you want to include in the eActivity. For details, see Inserting Data into an eActivity below.

3. After the eActivity is the way you want, tap [File] and then [Save].

4. On the dialog box that appears, enter a file name and then tap [Save] to save the eActivity.

Tip: eActivity files are stored in a memory area that is separate from that used for storing other types of data (variable data, Geometry data, Spreadsheet data, etc.). Because of this, you cannot access eActivity files data using the Variable Manager. You have to use the eActivity application to perform eActivity file operations.

Inserting Data into an eActivity The following describes the four types of data you can insert into an eActivity.

Text row A text row can be used to insert text data and mathematical expression text in natural format. You can also bold the text in a text row.

Calculation row Use the calculation row to insert any of the calculation operations that are available in the Main application.

Application data strip The application data strip lets you display a window from a ClassPad application (Main, Graph & Table, Geometry, etc.) and use the window to create data, which is inserted into the eActivity.

Geometry Link row Use this row to insert data that is linked with a Geometry window figure.

u To insert a text row

1. On the eActivity window toolbar, check to make sure that u is displayed. If it isnt, tap < to toggle it to u.

u indicates the Text Input mode is selected.

If the cursor is located in a line that already contains input data, place the cursor at the end of the line, tap [Insert] and then [Text Row]. This inserts a text row on the next line.

2. Use the soft keyboard or keypad keys to input the text you want.

Pressing E will advance you to the next line without displaying results.

Standard text (words separated by spaces) is automatically wrapped to the next line as required. A continuous text or number string (one that does not include any spaces) will not be wrapped to the next line if it does not fit within the width of the window.

Note that any mathematical expressions or commands you input into a text row are treated as text. They are not executed.

Tip Text can be changed to bold by dragging to select it and then tapping B. However, note that you cannot bold numeric

expressions of a natural display expression that you input with the template input mode (page 24).

You can select a range of characters with the left and right cursor keys. Simply press the ClassPad f key and then press e or d. Each press of the cursor key will select (highlight) the next character in the applicable direction.

Dragging a line or figure from the Geometry window to a Geometry Link row in an eActivity converts the line or figure to its mathematical expression. Conversely, dragging an expression from a Geometry Link row to the Geometry window converts the expression to its graphical form (line, curve, circle, etc.). This expression is interlinked with its Geometry window figure, so modifying one causes a corresponding change in the other.

uTo use a Geometry Link row

Example: To drag one side of a triangle drawn on the Geometry window and link it to an eActivity

1. From the eActivity menu, tap [Insert], [Strip(1)], and then [Geometry] to insert a Geometry strip.

2. On the Geometry window that appears in the lower half of the screen, draw a triangle.

3. Tap the eActivity window to make it active.

4. Tap [Insert] and then [Geometry Link].

This inserts a Geometry Link row in the next line.

5. Tap the Geometry window to make it active.

6. Tap one side of the triangle to select it, and then drag it to the right of the link symbol in the eActivity window.

This inputs the equation of the line that represents the side of the triangle into the link.

Modifying the equation in the Geometry Link row and pressing E causes a corresponding change in the Geometry window.

Link symbol

Chapter 10: eActivity Application185

The example above shows how the isosceles triangle ABC (CA = BC) changes when the equation in the Geometry Link row is changed from y = 2x + 1.581 to y = x + 2.

Tip Pressing E after changing data in a Geometry Link updates the corresponding figure in the Geometry window.

Changing the figure in the Geometry window will cause the linked data in an eActivity to update accordingly.

10-2 Transferring eActivity Files

File Compatibility Note the following precautions when using the ClassPads data communication function to transfer eActivity files with another ClassPad unit or a computer.

The ClassPad II supports only eActivity files created with a ClassPad II unit or with ClassPad Manager. eActivity files created with another ClassPad model cannot be opened by the ClassPad II.

You may not be able to open an eActivity file created using a newer version ClassPad II using an older version ClassPad II.

Transferring eActivity Files between a ClassPad Unit and a Computer You can transfer eActivity files between ClassPad and a computer. For details, see 19-2 Performing Data Communication between the ClassPad and a Personal Computer.

Transferring eActivity Files between Two ClassPad Units You can connect two ClassPad II units to each other and transfer eActivity files between them. For details about how to do this, see 19-3 Performing Data Communication between Two ClassPads.

Chapter 11: Financial Application186

Chapter 11: Financial Application You can use the Financial application to perform a variety of financial calculations.

Important! Financial calculation rules and practices can differ according to country, geographic area, or financial institution. It is up to you to determine whether the calculation results produced by this calculator are compatible with the financial calculation rules that apply to you.

11-1 Financial Application Basic Operations Each time you select a calculation from the Financial application menu, a new page is added for that

calculation.

Each page has input boxes for inputting values and input/calculation boxes that can be used both to input values and display calculation results.

The examples below explain basic operations using the Financial application page.

Example: What is the final value after two years (730 days) of a $3,000 investment earning 5.0% simple interest? Also calculate the final value during the same period for the same investment when the simple interest rate is 3%.

1. On the application menu, tap to start the Financial application.

If this is the first time the application is being started up, the Financial menu window will appear.

2. Tap [Calc(1)] and then [Simple Interest] (or, on the Financial menu window, tap Simple Interest).

This will add a new page for performing the calculation (page 1) and display the Simple Interest page.

Financial menu window

3. Input the following information: Days = 730; I% (annual interest rate) = 5; PV (present value) = 3000.

4. Tap [SI] and then [SFV].

This will display the calculation results for simple interest (SI) and simple future value (SFV = principal + interest).

Input box Input values in the box.

Input/calculation box Input values when required. For calculation, tap the button to the left of the box.

Chapter 11: Financial Application187

5. Tap [Calc(1)] and then [Simple Interest] again.

This adds a new page (page 2). The new page will inherit value input on the previous page (under initial settings).

6. Change the I% value to 3, tap [SI], and then [SFV].

The SI and SFV values are updated in accordance with the new I% value.

Tip If the cursor is in an input/calculation box, Solve will appear on the left side of the status bar. You can tap this to

complete the calculation instead of tapping the box to the left of the input/calculation box.

Financial application pages remain in memory even if you exit the Financial application. The next time you start up the Financial application, the page that was displayed the last time you exited the application will appear first.

Page Operations As shown in the sample operation above, each time you select a calculation from the Financial application menu, a new page is added for that calculation. The following types of operations can be performed on a page.

Display the previous page or following page*1 ..............................Tap , / .

Display help about the currently selected field on the page ....... Tap [Help] tab

Change the settings of the displayed pages calculation ....... Tap [Format] tab

Delete the currently displayed Financial application page*2

........................................................................................Edit - Delete Page

Clear all the values from the displayed Financial application page ..........................................................................................Edit - Clear Page

Delete all the Financial application pages and display the Financial application initial screen*3 .....................................................Edit - Clear All

*1 , and/or . on the toolbar indicates that there is a page before and/or after the current page. < and/or > indicates there is no page before and/ or after the current page. In this case, tapping < or > will not change to another page.

*2 Executing this operation when there is only one page will display the Financial menu window.

*3 Executing this operation will display the Financial menu window.

Note: If the currently displayed page is part way through a series of pages that are in memory, selecting a calculation from the [Calc(1)] or [Calc(2)] menu will create a new page in the series and delete everything after it. If you select a new calculation while page 3 of 5 is displayed, for example, the newly created page will become 4 of 4.

Chapter 11: Financial Application188

Configuring Financial Application Settings Most financial calculations require that you define certain general parameters that affect the results they produce. For example, you need to specify whether you use a 360-day or 365-day year, whether payments are made at the beginning of a period or end of a period, etc.

The following are settings required by the Financial application.

Default settings Configure default settings using the Financial Format dialog box. These settings are applied whenever you add a new page with the Financial application.

Local settings Configure local settings on the Format tab of each page, or by tapping the status bar. Local settings are applied to the currently displayed page only.

Local settings are generally applied to the currently displayed page only.

Note, however, that if you have one page displayed (Page A) and then add a new page (Page B), the initial settings of any Page B local setting items that are also on Page A will be those inherited from Page A. Default settings will be applied as the initial settings of items on Page B that are not also included on Page A.

The table below shows setting items for each type of Financial calculation.

12-1 Creating and Running Program This section explains the steps you need to perform in order to create and run a program.

Creating a Program Example: To create a program named OCTA that uses the formulas below determines the

surface area (S) and volume (V) of a regular octahedron

S = 2 3 A2, V = 2 3 A3

uTo create and save a new program

1. On the Program Loader or Program Editor window, tap O.

2. On the dialog box that appears, configure the settings for the new file as described below.

Leave the [Type] setting as Program(Normal).

Tap the [Folder] down arrow button and then select the folder where you want to save the program file.

In the [Name] box, input up to eight bytes for the program file name. Here, we will input OCTA.

3. Tap [OK]. This displays a blank Program Editor window.

4. Input the necessary expressions and commands. Here, we will input the program shown in the nearby screenshot.

Each mathematical expression and command must be followed either by a carriage return or colon (:).

Use the menus shown below to input the SetDecimal, Input, and Print commands.

[Misc] - [Setup(1)] - [SetDecimal]

[I/O] - [Input] - [Input]

[I/O] - [Output] - [Print]

For information about the menus, syntax, operation, and other details about commands, see 12-4 Program Command Reference.

Calculation results of arguments that are input using the approx( function are displayed using rounded decimal parts. Use the soft keyboard for input.

A

Chapter 12: Program Application198

5. After the program is the way you want, tap {, or tap [Edit], [Save File] and then [Save] to save it.

To run this program see Running a Program on page 199.

If a message appears when you try to save the program, make the necessary corrections and try again. For details about making corrections to a program, see 12-2 Debugging a Program.

Tip The file name you input in step 2 of the above procedure is subject to the same rules as folder and variable names. For

more information, see Folder and Variable Name Rules on page 31.

To input a program and save it without running it, perform the above procedure up to step 5, and then tap [Edit] and then [Close File].

If you want to use the calculation results produced by program execution in another calculation, include a line in the program that uses the command to assign the calculation result to a variable. For example, you could add the line below to the above example program to assign the calculated surface area to variable S and the volume to variable V.

2 (3) A^2 S: (2)/3 A^3 V

Note that calculation results produced within programs are not stored in Ans memory.

Pausing Program Execution

You can specify where execution of a program should pause by including either a Pause command or a Wait command inside the program. For details about each command, see 12-4 Program Command Reference.

Configuring Parameter Variables and Inputting Their Values When Creating a Program

If you input the names of variables used in a program into the parameter variable box when creating a program on the Program Editor window, you will be able to input values for the variables on the Program Loader window when you run the program.

Example: Parameter variable box

Indicates variables named A and B are used within the program.

Parameter value input box Inputting 1, 2 before running the program assigns A = 1 and B = 2.

Executing the program produces the result A + B = 1 + 2 = 3.

Tip: Variables that are specified as parameter variables within a program are automatically treated as local variables. For information about local variables, see Local in the Command List (page 214).

Using a Subroutine to Call another Program

Including the name of another program file inside of a program causes execution to jump to the specified program file.

Syntax: ({ , , ... })

The program that execution jumps from is called the main program, while the program to which execution jumps is called a subroutine.

Chapter 12: Program Application199

When program execution returns to the main program, it resumes from the point immediately after the command that jumped to the subroutine.

Example 1: Main Program: Subroutine: Sub1

Example 2: Main Program: Subroutine: Sub2

Using Strings in a Program

A string is a series of characters inside of quotation marks. In a program, strings are used to specify display text. A string made up of numbers (like 123) or an expression (like x1) cannot be processed as a calculation.

Tip: To include quotation marks (") or a backslash (\) in a string, put a backslash (\) in front of the quotation marks (") or backslash (\).

Examples:

To include Japan: Tokyo in a string To include main\abc in a string

Print "Japan:\"Tokyo\"" Print "main\\abc"

Running a Program Example: To run the OCTA program created under Creating a Program (page 197) to calculate the surface

areas and volumes of three regular octahedrons, the lengths of whose sides are 7, 10, and 15

uTo run a program

1. On the Program Loader window, specify the program you want to run.

(1) Tap the [Folder] down arrow button, and then select the folder you want.

(2) Tap the [Name] down arrow button, and then tap the name of the file. Here, we will tap OCTA.

In this example, the Parameter input box is left blank. For information about using the Parameter input box, see Configuring Parameter Variables and Inputting Their Values When Creating a Program (page 198).

2. Tap ., or tap [Run] and then [Run Program] to run the program.

This runs the program and displays a dialog box prompting for input of a value for variable A (length of one side).

Jumps to subroutine program Sub1

Assigns the values of main program variables A and B to the parameter variables (D and E) in subroutine Sub2, and then jumps to subroutine Sub2.

Chapter 12: Program Application200

3. Input a side length of 7 and tap [OK].

A Program Output window, showing the execution results of the program, will appear in the lower half of the screen.

On the Done dialog box that appears after program execution is complete, tap [OK].

4. Tap the Program Loader window and repeat steps 2 and 3 for sides of length 10 and 15.

Tip The Program Output window can be displayed by tapping O, [Window] and then [Program Output], or by tapping _ on

the Program Loader window. The Program Output window also appears whenever the DispText command is executed in a program.

Program Output window contents will remain displayed even if you run a different program. To clear the current contents, tap [Edit] - [Clear All] while the Program Output window is displayed. Executing the ClrText command also clears the currently stored Program Output window.

You can run a program from the Main application or the eActivity application. For more information, see 2-12 Running a Program in the Main Application.

Terminating Program Execution Pressing c while a program is running terminates the program.

Tip: Pressing c does not terminate the program if program execution is already paused by the Pause command (see 12-4 Program Command Reference). In this case, tap X on the status bar to resume program execution, and then press c.

Creating a Text File Use the procedure below to create a text file using the Program Editor window. You can also convert a previously saved program file to a text file.

uTo create and save a new text file

1. On the Program Loader or Program Editor window, tap O.

2. On the dialog box that appears, configure the settings for the new file as described below.

Tap the [Type] down arrow button and then select Program(Text).

Tap the [Folder] down arrow button and then select the folder where you want to save the text file.

In the [Name] box, input up to eight bytes for the text file name.

3. Tap [OK]. This displays a blank Program Editor window.

4. Input the text you want.

5. After input is complete, tap {, or tap [Edit], [Save File] and then [Save] to save it.

uTo change a program file to a text file

Calculation results when A = 15

Chapter 12: Program Application201

Tip: Note that the above operation is not possible while a user-defined function (page 203) is open.

Using Text Files Running a text file from the Program Loader window displays the contents of the file in the Text File Contents

window.

Inserting a text file name followed by () inside a program causes the contents of the text file to be displayed in the Text File Contents window when execution reaches the name.

Example:

File Name: CAUTION Program that displays contents of CAUTION file

Converting a Text File to a Program File You can convert a text file created on the ClassPad to a program file. You also can transfer a text file created on your computer to a ClassPad unit, and then convert it to a program file.

uTo change a text file to a program file

While a text file is open, tap [Edit], [Mode Change], and then ['Normal].

Tip Note that the above operation is not possible while a user-defined function (page 203) is open.

For information about transferring data between a computer and a ClassPad unit, see Chapter 19 of this manual.

Converting a Program File to an Executable File You can use the procedure below to change a program file (PRGM file type) to an executable file (EXE file type).

An EXE file is about half the size as its corresponding PRGM file.

An EXE file can only be executed. It cannot be edited. Because of this, converting a PRGM file to an EXE file also generates an editable PRGM file as a backup.

u To convert a program file (PRGM) to an executable file (EXE)

1. Open the PRGM file that you want to convert and display it in the Program Editor window.

2. Tap [Edit] and then [Compress].

This displays a dialog box for inputting the backup file name.

3. Enter the backup file name and then tap [OK].

This saves two copies of the file. One is an EXE file under the name of the original PRGM file. The other is a backup file, which is created under the name you specify here.

Original File: OCTA (type: PRGM)

Specified File Name: OCTA2

Resulting Files: OCTA (type: EXE), OCTA2 (type: PRGM)

Chapter 12: Program Application202

12-2 Debugging a Program A programming error that causes a program to behave in a manner not intended by the writer of the program is called a bug. Finding and eliminating such errors is called debugging the program. Any of the following conditions can indicate that your program has a bug and requires debugging.

If an error message appears when you try to save the program

If an error message appears when you try to run the program

If a program produces some abnormal or unexpected result

Debugging After an Error Message Appears When an error occurs, a dialog box appears to explain the cause of the error. Carefully read the text of the error message and then tap its [OK] button. This closes the dialog box, opens the Program Editor window, and positions the cursor at the location where the error occurred. Make the necessary corrections in accordance with the explanation provided by the error message.

Tip: EXE type files (page 201) cannot be edited. Tapping the [OK] button on the error dialog box will simply close the dialog box without displaying the Program Editor window. Open the backup PRGM file that was generated when you created the EXE file by converting it from a PRGM file, and use it for debugging.

Debugging a Program Following Unexpected Results If execution of a program produces unexpected or abnormal results, carefully read through the program and correct errors as required.

Chapter 12: Program Application203

12-3 User-defined Functions ClassPad lets you configure calculation operations as user-defined functions, which can then be used inside of numeric expressions just like its built-in functions. User-defined functions can also be called up in other applications.

Note User-defined functions are stored in ClassPad memory as FUNC (Function) type variables. Naming,

storage, and folder rules are identical to those for user variables.

A user-defined function can contain only a single mathematical expression.

A user-defined function cannot contain any command.

Creating a New User-defined Function You can use either of the methods below to create user-defined functions.

Using the Program applications Program Editor window.

Using the Main applications Define command.

uTo create and save a new user-defined function using the Program Editor window

Example: To create a user-defined function named f4 that calculates the following: x (x + 1) (x 2)

1. On the Program Loader or Program Editor window, tap O.

2. On the dialog box that appears, configure the settings for the new file as described below.

Cursor Movement - Right

2. After the setting is the way you want, tap [OK].

13-1 Inputting and Editing Cell Contents

Selecting Cells Before performing any operation on a cell, you must first select it. You can select a single cell, a range of cells, all the cells in a row or column, or all of the cells in the spreadsheet.

To select this: Do this:

A single cell Simply tap it with the stylus. When a single cell is selected, you can use the cursor key to move the cell cursor up, down, left, or right.

A range of cells Drag the stylus across them. If you drag to the edge of the screen, it will scroll automatically, until you remove the stylus from the screen.

Two non-contiguous columns*1

Tap the header of one of the columns and then tap the header of the other column. For example, to select columns A and C, tap the header of column A and then the header of column C.

Two non-contiguous rows*1

Tap the header of one of the rows and then tap the header of the other row. For example, to select rows 3 and 6, tap the header of row 3 and then the header of row 6.

All the cells in a row or column

Tap a column heading to select the column, or tap a row heading to select the row.

All of the cells in the spreadsheet

Tap the box above row heading 1 (to the left of column heading A).

*1 This selection method can be used only to specify a range of data for graphing. For details about graphing, see 13-2 Graphing.

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application229

Note Selection of non-contiguous rows and columns can be used for selection of up to two rows or two columns

only. You cannot select more than two non-contiguous rows or columns.

These operations are not supported when selecting rows or columns for non-graphing operations, such as statistical calculations, etc. Attempting these operations for a non-graphing operation will cause an error.

Inputting Data into a Cell The following are the basic steps you need to perform whenever inputting or editing cell data.

uClassPad Operation

1. Tap a cell and then tap the edit box.

This will change the toolbar to a data input toolbar like the one shown in the nearby screenshot.

2. Input the data you want.

You can input data using the keypad, the soft keyboard, the [Calc] menu, and the data input toolbar. See the following sections for more information.

3. After you are finished, tap the s button next to the edit box or press the E key.

Data input toolbar

This causes the entire spreadsheet to be re-calculated.

If you want to cancel data input without saving your changes, tap the S button next to the edit box or tap

l on the icon panel.

Inputting a Formula A formula is an expression that the Spreadsheet application calculates and evaluates when you input it, when data related to the formula is changed, etc. A formula always starts with an equals sign (=), and can contain values, mathematical expressions, cell references, and functions.

The screenshot to the right shows a simple example where a formula in cell B5 calculates the mean of the values in cells B1 through B3. Formulas are calculated dynamically whenever related values are changed, and the latest result is always displayed in the spreadsheet.

uTo input formula =mean(B1:B3) in cell B5

1. Tap cell B5 to select it.

2. On the [Calc] menu, tap [List-Statistics] and then [mean].

This will cause =mean( to be input into the edit box.

3. Drag from cell B1 to cell B3.

This will input B1:B3.

4. Tap the s button next to the edit box or press the E key. This will finalize input of =mean(B1:B3).

If you do not input the closing parenthesis ( ) ) it will be input automatically.

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application230

Tip: As in the example shown above, tapping another cell while the first character in the edit box is an equals sign (=) inserts a reference to the tapped cell into the edit box. Dragging across a range of cells will input a reference to the selected range.

Inputting a Cell Reference A cell reference is a symbol that references the value of one cell for use by another cell. If you input =A1 + B1 into cell C2, for example, Spreadsheet will add the current value of cell A1 to the current value of cell B1, and display the result in cell C2.

There are two types of cell references: relative and absolute.

Relative Cell Reference

A relative cell reference is one that changes according to its location on the spreadsheet. The cell reference =A1 in cell C2, for example, is a reference to the cell located two columns to the left and one cell up from the current cell (C2, in this case). Because of this, if we copy or cut the contents of cell C2 and paste them into cell D12, for example, the cell reference will change automatically to =B11, because B11 is two columns to the left and one cell up from cell D12.

Be sure to remember that relative cell references always change dynamically in this way whenever you move them using cut and paste, or drag and drop.

However, when you cut or copy a relative cell reference from the edit box, it is copied to the clipboard as text and pasted as-is without changing it. If =A1 is in cell C2 and you copy =A1 from the edit box and paste it into cell D12, for example, D12 will also be =A1.

Absolute Cell References

An absolute cell reference is one that does not change, regardless of where it is located or where it is copied to or moved to. You can make both the row and column of a cell reference absolute, or you can make only the row or only the column of a cell reference absolute, as described below.

This cell reference: Does this:

$A$1 Always refers to column A, row 1.

$A1 Always refers to column A, but the row changes dynamically when moved, as with a relative cell reference.

A$1 Always refers to row 1, but the column changes dynamically when moved, as with a relative cell reference.

Lets say, for example, that a reference to cell A1 is in cell C1. The following shows what each of the above cell references would become if the contents of cell C1 were copied to cell D12.

$A$1 $A$1 $A1 $A12 A$1 B$1

uTo input a cell reference =A1 in cell B1

1. Tap cell B1 to select it, and then input =.

2. Tap cell A1 or use the data input toolbar and keypad to input [A] [1].

3. Tap the s button next to the edit box or press the E key.

Tip: If you want to input an absolute cell reference, use the stylus or cursor keys to move the editing cursor to the appropriate location, and then use the editing toolbar to input a dollar ($) symbol.

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application231

Cell Data Types (Text Data and Calculation Data) When a single cell is selected, the toolbar will show u when it is a text data type cell, or < if it is a calculation data type cell. When you create a new spreadsheet, all of the cells are initially text data type.

With a text data type cell, any text or variable that does not have an equals sign (=) at the beginning is treated as text. A single value is treated as a constant value.

With a calculation data type cell, a formula or variable that does not have an equals sign (=) at the beginning is treated as a constant value. Inputting 2{3w in a calculation data type cell, for example, will cause the value 8 (the calculation result) to appear in the cell.

When this data type is specified:

Inputting this into the cell:

Causes this to be displayed:

Text u 2 (treated as a constant value)

(treated as text)

2^3 (treated as text)

Calculation < 2 (treated as a constant value)

(treated as a constant value)

2^3 (treated as a constant value)

uTo specify text or calculation as the data type for a particular cell

Select the cell(s) whose data type you want to specify, and then tap the third button from the left (u / <) to toggle the data type between text and calculation.

Inputting a Constant into a Calculation Data Type Cell You can use any one of the procedures below to input constants into calculation data type cells.

Direct input of a value or expression

Input of the same value into all of the cells in a specific range (Fill Range)

Input of a numeric sequence generated by a single-variable formula into a column of cells

uTo input a value or expression into a calculation data type cell

1. Tap the cell where you want to input data.

2. If u is displayed on the toolbar, tap to toggle it to <.

3. Input the value or expression without inputting an equals sign (=) at the beginning.

You can input an expression that returns a value as a calculation result.

4. Tap the s button next to the edit box or press the E key.

The value you input or the calculation result of the expression you input appears in the cell.

#ERR will appear in the cell if the expression cannot be executed or if there is a syntax error.

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application237

13-2 Graphing The Spreadsheet application lets you draw a variety of different graphs for analyzing data.

Basic Graphing Steps The following are the basic steps for graphing spreadsheet data.

uClassPad Operation

1. Input the data you want to graph into the spreadsheet.

2. Select the cells that contain the data you want to graph.

3. On the [Graph] menu, tap [Column Series] to graph the data by column, or tap [Row Series] to graph the data by row.

For more information, see Column Series and Row Series below.

4. On the [Graph] menu, select the type of graph you want to draw. Or you can tap the applicable icon on the toolbar.

This will open the Spreadsheet Graph window in the lower half of the display and draw the selected type of graph. See Graph Menu and Graph Examples (page 239) for examples of the different types of graphs that are available.

Tip: After the graph is drawn on the Spreadsheet Graph window, you can change to another type of graph at any time by selecting the graph type you want on the [Type] menu. Or you can tap the applicable icon on the toolbar.

Column Series and Row Series For example, the nearby screenshot shows sales results for items A, B, and C during Saturday and Sunday. Lets say we select the column series and row series and draw a stacked bar graph ([Graph] - [Bar] - [Stacked]).

When [Graph] - [Column Series] is selected, each column is treated as one set of data. Since this is a stacked graph, the first set of Sat data (blue) and the second set of Sun data (red) are cumulative, and there are three bars, one for each of the three items. This lets you see the cumulative sales for each item.

Item C

Item B

Item A

Sat Sun

When [Graph] - [Row Series] is selected, each row is treated as one set of data. Item A data (blue), Item B data (red), and Item C data (green) are cumulative, and there are two bars, one for each of the two days of the week. This lets you see the cumulative sales for each day. Sun

Sat

A CB

Tip: You can switch an existing graph between column series and row series by tapping [Type] - [Column Series] or [Type] - [Row Series].

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application238

Graph Colors and Color Link Enabling Color Link (so there is a check mark next to it) on the Edit menu will cause the text color of the data being graphed to be used when the data is graphed. Conversely, a color specified on the Graph window will be applied as the text color of the corresponding data.

When Color Link is disabled (so there is no check mark next to it on the [Edit] - [Format] menu), graphing is performed using default colors.

uTo use text colors as graph colors

Example: To draw a stacked line graph using the data in the nearby screenshot, which is the same we graphed under Column Series and Row Series (page 237)

1. Configure text color settings for each cell as shown in the nearby screenshot.

For information about color settings, see Changing the Text Color and Fill Color of Specific Cells (page 233).

2. Tap [Graph] - [Column Series].

3. Tap [Edit] - [Format] - [Color Link] so there is a check mark next to [Color Link].

4. Tap [Graph] - [Line] - [Stacked].

This will draw a stacked line graph using the data colors.

5. Tap [Type] - [Row Series].

This switches to a row series graph. For a line graph, the color of each datas first character (first row character in the case of Column Series, first column character in the case of Row Series) is applied as the line color.

u To specify the graph drawing color on the Graph window

Example: To continue with the operation in the previous example and change the drawing color on the Graph window

1. On the Graph window, select the point whose color you want to change by tapping it.

Note that you cannot select a line. Line colors are always the same as the rightmost end point.

2. On the [Edit] menu, tap [Style].

This displays the Style Settings dialog box.

3. Select the color you want and then tap [OK].

This will change the point to the color you selected.

Since there is a check mark next to [Color Link] on the [Edit] - [Format] menu, the corresponding data on the Spreadsheet window will also change to the selected color.

Tip Changing the [Color Link] setting to either enabled (check mark next to it on the [Edit] - [Format] menu) or disabled (no

check mark) while a graph is displayed will cause the graph to be redrawn in accordance with the newly selected enabled/ disabled setting.

When Color Link is enabled, the relationship between data text color and the graph color is as described below for each type of graph.

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application239

Line Graph, Column graph, Bar graph: The color of each datas first character (first row character in the case of Column Series, first column character in the case of Row Series) is applied as the color of the applicable portion (line, column, bar) of graph.

Scatter graph: When plotting a scatter graph of multiple different data series, the text color of the y-value of each data pair is used as the color of points plotted for the y-value. The text colors of x-values are ignored. When plotting a scatter graph of a single data series (selecting [Graph] - [Column Series] to graph a single column of data or [Graph] - [Row Series] to graph a single row of data) a point plotted on the graph will be the same color as the character color of the corresponding data item. When the [Lines] item of the [View] menu is enabled (indicated by a check mark next to it) on the Graph window, the color of a line is the same as the final rightmost point.

Histogram, Box Whisker: Histograms and box whiskers are always drawn using colors selected by ClassPad, regardless of the current Color Link enabled/disabled setting.

Pie graph: The text color of each data item is used as the color of the pie piece that represents the data on the graph.

Graph Menu and Graph Examples The following explains each of the [Graph] menu commands, and shows examples of what happens to the Graph window when you execute a command. Each command is followed by a button to show the graph toolbar button that performs the same action as the command.

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application240

Tip: The contents of the Spreadsheet window [Graph] menu and the Graph window [Type] menu are identical. On the Graph window, you can uses the [Type] menu or the applicable icon on the toolbar to change the graph type after a graph is drawn.

[Graph] - [Line] -

[Clustered] D [Stacked] F [100% Stacked] G

After drawing a clustered line graph, you can change a line in the graph to a column graph. To do this, tap any data point on the line you wish to change to a column graph, and then tap [Column] on the [Calc] menu or tap '. You can change a column graph back to a line graph by selecting one of its columns and tapping z or [Line] on the [Calc] menu.

[Graph] - [Column] -

[Clustered] D [Stacked] F [100% Stacked] G

After drawing a clustered Column graph, you can change a column in the graph to a line graph. To do this, tap any one of the columns you wish to change to a line graph, and then tap [Column] on the [Calc] menu or tap z. You can change a line graph back to a column graph by selecting one of its data points and tapping ' or [Column] on the [Calc] menu.

[Graph] - [Bar] -

[Clustered] D [Stacked] F [100% Stacked] G

[Graph] - [Pie] Z

When you select a pie chart, only the first series (column or row) of the selected data is used.

Tapping any of the sections of a pie graph causes three values to appear at the bottom of the screen: the cell location, a data value for the section, and a percent value that indicates the portion of the total data that the data value represents.

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application241

[Graph] - [Scatter] X

When plotting a scatter graph of multiple different data series, the first series (column or row) of selected values is used as the x-values for all plots. The other selected values are used as the y-value for each of the plots. This means if you select three columns of data (like Columns A, B, and C), for example, there will be two different plot point types: (A, B) and (A, C).

When plotting a scatter graph of a single data series (selecting [Graph] - [Column Series] to graph a single column of data or [Graph] - [Row Series] to graph a single row of data), x-axis data numbers (1, 2, 3...) are fixed and each data item is plotted on the y-axis.

Scatter graphs initially have plotted points only. You can add lines by selecting [Lines] on the [View] menu.

[Graph] - [Histogram] 3

When you select a histogram graph, only the first series (column or row) of the selected data is used.

Tapping any of the bins of a histogram graph causes three values to appear at the bottom of the screen. The first two values (from the left) indicate the range of the selected bin, while the third value indicates the quantity of the selected bin.

You can specify the bin width after drawing a histogram graph. On the Spreadsheet Graph window that shows the histogram, tap [Bin Width] on the [Calc] menu.

[Graph] - [Box Whisker] 1

This type of graph lets you see how a large number of data items are grouped within specific ranges. The lines from Min to Q1, and from Q3 to Max are called whiskers. If [Calc] - [Show Outliers] box is checked on the Spreadsheet Graph window, outlier circular symbols are shown instead of whisker lines where a data value is relatively large or small compared to the other data values.

When you select a box whisker graph, each column will be displayed as a separate box whisker.

Tapping the Q1, Q3, Med, Min, or Max location of a box whisker graph will cause the applicable value to appear at the bottom of the screen.

Q3MedMin MaxQ1

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application242

Regression Graph Operations (Curve Fitting) After plotting a scatter graph using paired-variable (x, y) data on the spreadsheet, you can draw a regression graph that approximates the scatter graph and determine the regression formula.

uTo plot a scatter graph and then draw its regression graph

1. Enter the paired-variable data into the spreadsheet, and then select the range of cells where it is located.

For information about how data is treated based on the range of cells that are selected, see [Graph] - [Scatter] (page 241) under Graph Menu and Graph Examples.

2. Tap [Graph] and then [Scatter].

This will open the Graph window in the lower half of the display and plot the scatter graph.

3. When plotting a scatter graph with multiple y-values, select one of the y-value plots that you want to use for drawing the regression graph by tapping it.

4. On the Graph window, perform the following steps.

To draw this: Select this [Calc] menu item: Or tap this:

Linear regression curve Linear Reg d

Med-Med graph MedMed Line 2

Quadratic regression curve Quadratic Reg f

Cubic regression curve Cubic Reg g

Quartic regression curve Quartic Reg h

Quintic regression curve Quintic Reg j

Logarithmic regression curve Logarithmic Reg l

Exponential aebx regression curve Exponential Reg k

Exponential abx regression curve abExponential Reg 4

Power regression curve Power Reg ;

Sinusoidal regression curve Sinusoidal Reg 5

Logistic regression curve Logistic Reg 6

This superimposes the regression graph on the scatter graph. Also, the regression calculation result window will appear in the upper half of the display (except for Quintic Reg).

Here, you can add a another regression graph by selecting a different [Calc] menu item. Also, you can repeat step 3 to overlay a regression graph for a different y-value.

5. To clear all regression graphs, tap [Edit] - [Clear All].

You can also delete a particular regression graph by tapping to select it, and then tapping [Edit] - [Delete].

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application243

Tip Regression graphs are normally drawn in blue, but you can change the color after drawing is complete. To change the

color after drawing is complete, tap the graph and then tap [Edit] - [Style] to display the Style Settings dialog box. Perform the procedure under To specify the graph drawing color on the Graph window (page 238) to change the color.

Exponential and abExponential regression curves ignore negative values when calculating the curve. A message appears in the status bar to let you know when negative values are ignored.

On the Graph window, after tapping a regression graph to select it you can drag it to the Spreadsheet window and drop it into a cell to paste the function of the regression graph into the cell. You can also achieve the same result by tapping the regression graph, tapping [Edit] - [Copy] (or [Edit] - [Cut]), tapping a cell in the Spreadsheet window, and then tapping [Edit] - [Paste]. Note that if you perform an [Edit] - [Cut] operation, the regression graph will be deleted from the Graph window.

For details about how to use the Link check box and [Output>>] button on the regression calculation result window, see To execute a regression calculation and paste the results into the spreadsheet (page 245).

Other Graph Window Operations This section provides more details about the types of operations you can perform while the Graph window is on the display.

uTo change the appearance of a graph by dragging a point

While a graph is on the Graph window, use the stylus to drag any one of its data points to change the configuration of the graph.

You can change curves, make bars or columns longer or shorter, or change the size of pie graph sections.

Changing a graph automatically changes the graphs data on the Spreadsheet window.

Drag Changes

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application244

If a regression curve is displayed for the data whose graph is being changed by dragging, the regression curve also changes automatically in accordance with the drag changes.

When you edit data in the spreadsheet and press E, your graph will update automatically.

Important! You can drag a point only if it corresponds to a fixed value on the spreadsheet. You cannot drag a point if it

corresponds to a formula.

You may encounter the message Insufficient System Memory to Run... if you are using a large amount of data and formulas.

uTo use drag and drop to obtain the data of a graph

While a graph is on the Graph window, you can select a part of the graph (point, bar, etc.) and drop it into a Spreadsheet window cell. This will import the graph data into the spreadsheet. The data that is imported depends on the graph type.

Dragging this to a cell in the spreadsheet window:

Creates a table containing these values starting from the cell where you dropped the data:

A point of a line graph, a column of a column graph, or a bar of a bar graph

All of the values in the series associated with the point, column, or bar

A point of a scatter graph All (x, y) values of the series associated with the point

A pieces of a pie graph A percentage value relative to the entire pie graph

Any of the bins of a histogram graph The values of the histogram graph

Any of the Q1, Q3, Med, Min, or Max location of a box whisker graph

The graphs values (Min, Q1, Median, Q3, Max)

uTo show or hide lines and markers for a line graph or a scatter graph

1. While a line graph or a scatter graph is on the Graph window, tap the [View] menu.

2. Tap the [Markers] or [Lines] item to toggle it between show (check box selected) and hide (check box cleared).

Line and scatter graphs can have markers only, lines only, or both markers and lines. You cannot turn off both markers and lines at the same time.

13-3 Statistical Calculations The upper part of the [Calc] menu includes the same menu items as the Statistics Application [Calc] menu.

Spreadsheet Application Statistics Application

Menu items with the same name perform the same functions, but there are some differences between the Statistics Application and Spreadsheet Application in terms of operation procedures, calculation result display, etc. This section explains statistical operations and functions that are peculiar to the Spreadsheet Application.

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application245

Single-variable, Paired-variable and Regression Calculations When performing these calculations, you need to prepare data of one of the formats shown below.

(a) (b) (c) (d)

X1 X2 X3

X1 X2 X3

Freq 1 Freq 2 Freq 3

X1 X2 X3

Y1 Y2 Y3

X1 X2 X3

Y1 Y2 Y3

Freq 1 Freq 2 Freq 3

Single-variable Data Single-variable Data with Frequencies

Paired-variable Data Paired-variable Data with Frequencies

To perform this type of calculation: Prepare this type of data:

Single-variable calculations (a) or (b)

Paired-variable and regression calculations (c) or (d)

For any of the above calculations, selecting a command displays a wizard screen. The example below shows how to perform a regression calculation.

u To execute a regression calculation and paste the results into the spreadsheet

1. Enter the paired-variable data into the spreadsheet, and then select the range of cells where it is located.

2. On the menu bar, tap [Calc] and then [Regression]. Next, on the submenu that appears, tap the desired regression type.

This displays a window which shows calculation results along with the model formula for the selected regression type in the lower half of the display.

For details about each regression type, see Regression types (page 138). For information about calculation results other than model formula coefficients, (r, MSe, etc.), see To view regression calculation results (page 143).

3. On the calculation result window, tap the [Output>>] button.

You can use this screen to specify the data to be output to the spreadsheet. Under initial default settings, the Labels and Results check boxes are selected. Select the check boxes of the items you want to output.

4. On the output window, tap [Paste].

This pastes a table of system variable labels to which regression calculation results are assigned, the regression calculation results, and residual values (items whose check boxes are selected).

Link check box Changing the range of data you selected on the Spreadsheet window in step 1 above will cause the regression calculation results displayed on the calculation result window to be updated automatically. You can disable automatic updating (if you feel that updating is taking too long or for any other reason) by clearing the Link check box on the calculation result window.

Tip: For information about regression graphing, see Regression Graph Operations (Curve Fitting) (page 242).

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application246

Test and Interval Calculations These calculations use the exact same wizard as the Statistics application.

For details about each calculation, see Tests (page 146) and Confidence Intervals (page 149) in 7-4 Performing Advanced Statistical Calculations. For information about command syntax, see 12-4 Program Command Reference.

The following are the differences between these calculations and the Statistics application.

For the Linear Regression t Test, 2 Test, 2 GOF Test, One-Way ANOVA, and Two-Way ANOVA commands, you need to input data to be used in the calculation into the spreadsheet beforehand.

The other commands are always executed using a variable type syntax. Values can be input directly on the wizard screen, or they can be input into a spreadsheets and referenced from there. One line of spreadsheet data is used for one calculation execution, so calculations can be batch executed by providing the required number of data lines. For an actual execution example, see Z Tests, t Tests, Two-Sample F Test, and Interval Calculations below.

After the calculation result window is displayed, an output window can be displayed for outputting calculation result data to the spreadsheet.

Formats of Data Used for Calculation and Example Calculation

This section specifies the data formats for the data input in the spreadsheet for each type of calculation, and shows an example of an actual calculation. m and n used in the explanation text below represent any two natural numbers.

Z Tests, t Tests, Two-Sample F Test, and Interval Calculations

Operation when inputting values directly on the wizard screen and performing the calculation is identical to that when Variable is elected on the Statistics operation wizard screen.

When the number of numeric input fields on the wizard screen is m, prepare n rows and m columns of data. For example, in the case of the 1-Sample Z Test, there are four numeric input fields as shown in the nearby screenshot. In this case, selecting 2 rows 4 columns of data (A1:D2) on the spreadsheet and running the wizard will automatically input cell references into each field as shown in the nearby screenshot. Increasing the number of rows causes batch calculation of each line to be performed.

Important! When you want to batch execute multiple calculations, be sure to input a set of data for each calculation in each line. Calculation cannot be performed on the wizard screen when data is grouped by columns.

Example: To prepare the data shown in the nearby screenshot, select the range A2:D4, and execute the 1-Sample Z Test. In this case, the condition is ( 0).

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application247

1. On the Spreadsheet window, input the data and then select input range cells A2:D4.

2. Tap [Calc] - [Test] - [One-Sample Z-Test], and then tap [Next>>].

3. This will automatically insert the cell references into the fields as shown in the nearby screenshot (lower half).

You can also directly input reference cell ranges for each field. If you do, however, you can specify in the column direction (such as A1:A3). Specifying in the row direction (such as A1:C1) will cause an error.

4. Tap [Next>>].

A calculation is executed for each line of input data, which obtains three results for z value. The calculation results for each line can be displayed by tapping the down arrow button (v) of each field on the calculation result window.

5. To graph the calculation results as a normal distribution graph, tap $.

Linear Regression t Test

In a spreadsheet, input paired-variable data (page 245 (c) or (d)) as test data.

1301 To perform a Linear Regression t Test on the paired-variable data shown in the nearby screenshot

For test data, input data of at least one row and two columns (observed matrix) into the spreadsheet. You can see an actual example ( 0704 ) of how this is done using the Statistics application in Chapter 7 of this manual.

2 GOF Test

For test data, input two lists (observed list and expected list) into the spreadsheet. This is equivalent to inputting two rows of data of n lines. You can see an actual example ( 0705 ) of how this is done using the Statistics application in Chapter 7 of this manual.

One-Way ANOVA

For test data, input data (Factor A) into the spreadsheet that is n rows 2 columns up to n 6 columns. You can see an actual example ( 0706 ) of how this is done using the Statistics application in Chapter 7 of this manual.

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application248

Two-Way ANOVA

When (Factor A count) (Factor B count) = m, prepare test data that is n rows m columns. For example, when there are Factor A items and one Factor B items, input six columns of data into the spreadsheet. For example, select A1:F3 on the spreadsheet and run the wizard. This will automatically assign the cell references shown below to each factor.

Factor B1 Factor B2 Factor B3

Factor A1 A1:A3 B1:B3 C1:C3

Factor A2 D1:D3 E1:E3 F1:F3

This pastes the calculation results in formula format.

About DispStat Command Tapping [Calc] - [DispStat] displays a DispStat window that displays statistical calculation (one-variable, two- variable, regression, test, interval, distribution, or inverse distribution calculations) results after a calculation is performed.

Chapter 13: Spreadsheet Application249

Tip: The DispStat window shows statistical calculation results of the last statistical calculation that was executed using any ClassPad application (except for eActivity). For example, immediately after a calculation is executed using NormPD command in the Main application, that calculation result is displayed on the DispStat window, even with the Spreadsheet application. However, note that calculation results produced using a mathematical function, such as normPDf(, are not displayed on the DispStat window.

13-4 Cell and List Calculations

Using the Cell Calculation Functions Spreadsheet application special functions are included on the [Cell-Calculation] submenu of the [Calc] menu. Selecting a menu item on the [Cell-Calculation] submenu will input the corresponding function into the currently selected cell. This section provides explanations of the functions and input syntax of the cell calculation functions.

Function Description

row Function: Returns the row number of a specified cell. Syntax: row(cell)

col Function: Returns the column number of a specified cell. Syntax: col(cell)

count Function: Returns a count of the number of cells in the specified range. Syntax: count(start cell[:end cell])

cellif Function: Evaluates an equality or inequality, and returns one of three different expressions based on whether the equality/inequality is true (expression 1), false (expression 2), or inconclusive (expression 3).

With this function, the equality/inequality can include a string as in the following example: cellif(A1="Red", 0,1,2).

Syntax: cellif(equation, expression 1, expression 2, expression 3) cellif(inequality, expression 1, expression 2, expression 3)

1303 For each value in cells A1 through A5, to display Big in the neighboring B-column cell for values of 5 and greater, and Small for values less than 5

Using the List Calculation Functions The [Calc] menu functions shown in the table below are also included (with the same name) on the Main application [Action] - [List] - [Statistics] and [Action] - [List] - [Calculation] submenus.

[Calc] - [List-Statistics] submenu min, max, mean, median, mode, Q1, Q3, percentile, stdDev, variance

[Calc] - [List-Calculation] submenu sum, prod, cuml, Alist, percent, polyEval, sequence, sumSeq

Selecting a menu item on the [Calc] - [List-Statistics] submenu or [Calc] - [List-Calculation] submenu will input the corresponding function into the currently selected cell. For information about the syntax and other details about each function, see Using the List-Statistics and List-Calculation Submenus (page 72).

Tip: When a range of cells on a spreadsheet is specified as the arguments of these functions, the cells are regarded of a single list of data even if the range extends over multiple columns. For example, in the case of the nearby screenshot (where the range A1:B3 is selected), the data is treated as the following list data: {1,3,5,2,4,6}.

1304 To determine the mean of the values in the block whose upper left corner is located at A1 and whose lower right corner is located at C3, and input the result in cell C5

1305 When Column A is data and Column B is frequency, to totalize the data input in A1 through B3 in the nearby screenshot and input the total into cell B5

Chapter 14: 3D Graph Application250

Chapter 14: 3D Graph Application The 3D Graph application lets you draw a 3-dimensional graph of an equation in the form z = f (x, y) or of a parametric equation.

The 3D Graph application has a 3D Graph Editor window (1) and a 3D Graph window (2). Functions you input on the 3D Graph Editor window are graphed on the 3D Graph window. You can select any one of the expressions on the 3D Graph Editor window and graph it on the 3D Graph window.

14-2 Using the 3D Graph Window This section explains 3D Graph window operations, including configuring display settings, changing the angle of a graph, rotating a graph, and more.

Configuring 3D Graph View Window Parameters

Use the 3D Graph View Window to specify maximum and minimum values for the x-axis, y-axis, z-axis, s-variable, and t-variable.

You can also specify the number of lines you would like for drawing the grid. For the xgrid enter the number of lines you would like drawn within the interval from xmin to xmax. For example, if xmin = 3, xmax = 3 and xgrid = 15, 15 almost vertical lines will be used to display your graph. The ygrid lines will be almost horizontal.

uTo configure View Window parameters

1. Tap 6, or tap O and then [View Window] to display the View Window dialog box.

2. Configure View Window parameters required for the type of graph you want to draw.

Use this item: To configure this View Window parameter: Initial default

xmin/ymin/zmin Minimum x-axis/y-axis/z-axis value 3

xmax/ymax/zmax Maximum x-axis/y-axis/z-axis value 3

xgrid/ygrid Number of grid lines used for x-axis/y-axis direction 25

angle Clockwise angle of x-axis 20

angle \ Eye position relative to the plane created by the x-axis and y-axis, and the angle of the z-axis

70

smin/tmin Minimum s-variable/t-variable value 3.14159265358979

smax/tmax Maximum s-variable/t-variable value 3.14159265358979

3. After all the parameters are the way you want, tap [OK].

When you tap [OK] after changing View Window dialog box settings, the graph is redrawn automatically using the new View Window settings.

The following are examples of the 3D graph z = xy using a number of different 3D View Window setups.

xgrid, ygrid 10 25 50 25

xmin, ymin 3 3 3 1.5

xmax, ymax 3 3 3 1.5

Important! As is evident from the above sample screenshots, the greater the xgrid and ygrid values, the more detailed

the graph. Also note, however, that larger values require more calculation, which means that the graphing operation takes more time.

Graphing may be impossible if the xgrid and ygrid values are too small.

Chapter 14: 3D Graph Application254

3. On the dialog box that appears, enter values for x and y, and then tap [OK].

The 3D graph window shows x, y, and z coordinate values, which indicate the current location of the crosshair pointer. The crosshair pointer will not be visible on the graph if it is located outside of the current display area.

Inputting a graph value while z-Cal is on the display cause a dialog box to appear for specifying an x- and y-value, or an s- and t-value. You can use this dialog box to specify other x- and y-values, or s- and t-values.

4. To cancel the z-Cal operation, tap l on the icon panel.

Chapter 15: Picture Plot Application257

Chapter 15: Picture Plot Application Picture Plot is an application that lets you plot points (that represent coordinates) on a photograph, illustration, or other graphic and perform various types of analysis based on the plotted data (coordinate values).

The photograph to the right, for example, shows a uniquely curved bridge.

The plane of the frontmost edge of the bridge is treaded as the xy coordinate plane, and the left side base of the bridge is treated as the origin (0, 0). This makes it possible to express any point on along the edge of the bridge floor as a coordinate (x, y).

The Picture Plot plot function makes it easy to plot points on a photograph such as this or some other image, and extract the coordinate values of the plots.

Plotting points Coordinates (Plot List window)

You can use the plots to perform the following types of operations.

Register and graph a y = f (x) form equation and overlay it on a photograph and plot.

Perform regression calculation based on the plotted coordinate values and draw a regression graph that overlays the plots. This makes it possible to produce the mathematical expression and graph of a path of movement.

Add time values (t) to the coordinate values (x, y) and plot points on the t-x plane or t-y plane. This makes it possible to produce the mathematical expressions and graphs of the correlation between horizontal direction movement and time, and the correlation between vertical direction movement and time.

Chapter 15: Picture Plot Application264

15-2 Using the Plot List Each plot on the Picture Plot window has coordinate value data. You can use the Plot List window to display and edit these coordinates.

Using the Plot List Window to Edit Plots You can use the Plot List window to edit the coordinate values of previously plotted points and plot new points by inputting coordinate values. You can also delete all of the plot data from an image.

uTo edit plot coordinate values

1. While the Picture Plot window is displayed, tap Q.

This will display the Plot List window in the lower half of the screen.

The x and y values of the Plot List window show plot coordinates. The t value indicates time. (For more information about t values, see 15-3 Displaying Plots on t-y or t-x Coordinates.) On this window you can edit the x and y values only.

2. Tap a cell and then edit its contents.

To edit cell contents, use the same operations as those for the Spreadsheet application. See 13-1 Inputting and Editing Cell Contents for more information.

The maximum allowable number of editing/input rows is 50 when the background image is a c2p file. For a c2b file background image, the maximum number of rows is the same as the number of still images that make up the animation file.

Any change you make to a value will be reflected by the corresponding plot on the Picture Plot window. Inputting an x-value and y-value in a row that is blank will plot a new point at the applicable coordinates.

3. To save edited plot data to the c2p or c2b file, tap [File] - [Save].

This displays a dialog box. The current name of the file you are editing will appear by default in the file name input box.

4. To overwrite the current file with the edited version, tap [Save]. On the Overwrite? dialog box that appears, tap [OK] to save the file. To assign a different name to the edited version of the file, change the name in input box and then tap [Save].

You can also save the file after returning to the Picture Plot window, if you want.

For details about the information saved to a file, see 15-4 Picture Plot Application Files.

5. To exit editing and return to the Picture Plot window, tap 5 or the Picture Plot window.

Note that the Plot List window cannot be closed while the Picture Plot application is running. To hide the Plot List window and display a full-screen view of the Picture Plot window, make the Picture Plot window active and then tap r.

Saving Data to and Importing Data from a Spreadsheet You can save coordinate data (x-column and y-column data), including the cell format information (number format, text color, fill color), that is plotted on the Plot List window as a spreadsheet.

You can also import A-column and B-column data from a spreadsheet created with the Spreadsheet application to the x-column and y-column of the Plot List window. Cell format information that is supported by the Plot List window is also imported.

Chapter 15: Picture Plot Application265

uTo save plot coordinate data as a spreadsheet

1. On the Plot List window, tap [File] - [Save Spreadsheet].

2. On the dialog box that appears, specify the file save destination folder and input a file name.

3. Tap [Save].

uTo import a spreadsheet as plot coordinate data

1. On the Plot List window, tap [File] - [Open Spreadsheet].

2. On the dialog box that appears, select the spreadsheet you want to import and then tap [Open].

Note: If the number of rows of spreadsheet you selected in step 2 of the above procedure exceeds the allowable maximum (50 for a c2p file, equal to the number of still images for a c2b file), rows are imported only up to the allowable maximum. Any spreadsheet data from Column C onwards and format information that is not supported by the Plot List window is ignored.

Exporting Plot Data to and Importing Plot Data from a Variable You can import LIST (list), MAT (matrix), and EXPR (expression) variables into the Plot List window. Data inside of cells selected on the Plot List window can be exported as at LIST, MAT, or EXPR variable. The steps of these operations are the same as those for the Spreadsheet application. For more information, see Importing and Exporting Variable Values (page 235).

15-3 Displaying Plots on t-y or t-x Coordinates As can be seen on the Plot List window, the data for each plot includes x- and y-coordinates, as well as a time value t. On the Picture Plot screen each plot is normally displayed as coordinates (x, y) on an x-y plane, but time value t can be used to display plots as coordinates (t, y) on a t-y plane or as coordinates (t, x) on a t-x plane.

Under initial default settings, time values are 0, 1, 2, and so on (arithmetic progression with a start value of 0 and a step value of 1), in accordance with the sequence that the points are plotted. You can change the t value assigned to each plot by changing the start value and step value.

uTo configure the time (t) value

Chapter 16: Interactive Differential Calculus Application267

Chapter 16: Interactive Differential Calculus Application The Interactive Differential Calculus Application helps you learn about differential coefficients and/or derivative formulas that are the foundation of differentiation.

It has a DiffCalc Table window (1) and a DiffCalc Graph window (2), and the DiffCalc Table window has four tabs, described below.

[Function] tab: For input of y = f (x) functions used for differentiation. The purpose of this tab is function input only, so the DiffCalc Graph window is not displayed while this tab is displayed.

[Tangent] tab: This tab makes it possible to observe the slope of a straight line passing through two points (D and E) on the function y = f (x) getting closer to the slope of a tangent to point E as point D approaches point E. This helps to demonstrate the fundamentals of differentiation.

[Deriv] tab: When the points (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (xn, yn) on the function y = f (x) have tangents with the slopes slope1, slope2, slopen, the [Deriv] tab can be used to plot the coordinates (x1, slope1), (x2, slope2), (xn, slopen) on the graph screen. After plotting a number of points, use the function indicated by their loci to study the function indicated by them, and consider what is the derivative (what expression is indicate by the function) of y = f (x).

[D Trace] tab: Displaying this tab causes x, f (x), f (x) number tables to be generated automatically based on the f (x) function input on the [Function] tab. Selecting a different x-value provides a visual understanding of how the f (x) value, tangent, f (x) value, and f (x) value change accordingly. At the same time, y = f (x) and y = f (x) are graphed, and a tangent to the y = f (x) x-value are also drawn automatically.

Chapter 16: Interactive Differential Calculus Application268

16-1 Learning about Tangents Using the [Tangent] Tab Consider the slope (differential coefficient) of a tangent to a point on a curve represented by y = f (x). Two points (D and E) are placed on the graph of y = f (x), and a straight line (DE) through the two points and the tangent of point E are drawn. As point D moves infinitely closer to point E, line DE moves infinitely closer to the tangent of point E. This derives the slope of the line tangent to point E.

uTo use the [Tangent] tab

Example: On the graph of y = x2 2, derive the slope of the line tangent to a point (2, 2) on the graph of y = x2 2.

1. On the application menu, tap to start the Interactive Differential Calculus application.

2. On the [Function] tab that appears, input x2 2 into the y: line under Function.

3. Tap the [Tangent] tab.

This will cause the display to appear as shown below.

Point D coordinates (1, 1)

Point E coordinates (2, 2)

y = x2 2 graph (blue)

shows the point that can be moved using the right and left cursor keys.

Straight line linking point D and point E (orange)

{Point E y-coordinate} {Point D y-coordinate} (= rise)

{Point E x-coordinate} {Point D x-coordinate} (= run)

Slope of secant DE (= rise/run)

Expression of secant DE

y = x2 2 tangent to point E (green)

4. Tap w (or Point - Fix Point E).

This locks point E and allows relocation of point D only.

5. Use the left and right cursor keys to move point D on the y = x2 2 graph closer and closer to point E.

6. Move point D to the same location as point E.

This will cause the rise and run values on the [Tangent] tab to become 0, and only the y = x2 2 (green) tangent of point E (which is the same as point D) will remain displayed.

Use the cursor keys to move point D and observe the Slope of secant DE and Eq (equation) of secant DE immediately before and after the location where point D and point E are identical. This way you can study the slope and expression of tangent y = x2 2.

Note To switch between the point (D or E) that moves when you press the left or right cursor key, press the up or

down cursor key, or tap 9 or 8. The point that will be moved when you press the left or right cursor key is indicated by .

You can also move the point E or point D using the stylus. Tap and hold one of the points with the stylus, and then drag to the location to which you want to move it.

Chapter 16: Interactive Differential Calculus Application269

16-2 Deriving the Derivative Using the [Deriv] Tab uTo use the [Deriv] tab

Example: The slope of a tangent at a point (x, y) on the graph of y = x3 4x, is slope. Plot coordinates (x1, slope1), (x2, slope2), (x3, slope3), . (xn, slopen) on the DiffCalc Graph window, and predict the function that passes through all of the plots. Also, use regression to confirm the function.

1. On the DiffCalc Table window, display the [Function] tab.

2. In the y: line under Function, input x3 4x.

3. Tap the [Deriv] tab.

This will cause the display to appear as shown below.

(x, slope) number table There are no table contents under initial default conditions.

[EXE] button and cursor buttons

y = x3 4x graph (blue)

Tangent at position of graph y = x3 4x graph (green)

Slope of tangent at position of graph y = x3 4x graph

x-coordinate of location

4. On the DiffCalc Graph window, plot a point at coordinates (x, slope).

(1) Use the cursor buttons to move around the graph.

(2) Tap the [EXE] button.

This will add the x and slope values at the current location of to the number table on the [Deriv] tab. At the same time, the (x, slope) will be plotted on the DiffCalc Graph window.

(3) Repeat steps (1) and (2) above to plot at least four points.

At this point, try to predict the expression (y = f (x) function) that will produce a curve that passes through all of the plots.

5. Input the expression and graph it.

In this example, we can predict a quadratic function curve, so we will try inputting y = 2x2 4.

(1) Tap Calc - Predicted Function - Editor or D.

Chapter 16: Interactive Differential Calculus Application270

(2) On the dialog box that appears, input 2x2 4 and then tap [OK].

This will graph the expression you input.

6. Perform regression to check if the function you predicted is correct. Since we predicted a quadratic function curve here, we will perform quadratic regression. Tap Calc - Regression - Quadratic Reg or f.

This draws the graph based on the calculation results.

Tip: There are four types of regression available on the Calc - Regression menu. Decide on the type of regression calculation you want to perform based on the straight lines and curves expected from the shape of the plots.

Note In step 4 of the above procedure, be sure to plot at least four points for the (x, slope) coordinates. When there

are fewer than four plots, attempting to perform the steps from step 5 onward will cause the message Plot at least 4 points. to appear to let you know you cannot go any further until you plot more points.

The predicted expression you input in step 5 and the regression expression obtained in step 6 automatically overwrite the applicable fields on the [Function] tab.

For details about the regression calculation result dialog box that appears in step 6-(2) above, see the table in step 3 of the procedure under To view regression calculation results (page 143).

Chapter 16: Interactive Differential Calculus Application271

16-3 Generating a Number Table and Graphing the First Derivative and Second Derivative Using the [D Trace] Tab

The [D Trace] tab can simultaneously handle the three types of functions below, which are based on the functions input for Function on the [Function] tab.

x function y1 (= f (x))

y1 first derivative y2 = y1 (= f (x))

y1 second derivative y3 = y1 (= f (x))

You can use this tab to view the number table of y1, y2, and y3 values for each x value, and to check the graph associated with the number table.*

* Defaults: x, y1, y2

uTo use the [D Trace] tab

Example: Simultaneously graph the function y1 = 1/3x3 3x and its first derivative y2 = y1, and compare the graphs. Also, use the graph and number table to observe changes in each of the graphs y-values (y1, y2), and study the relationship between the functions.

1. On the DiffCalc Table window, display the [Function] tab.

2. In the y: line under Function, input 1/3x3 3x.

3. Tap the [D Trace] tab.

This will cause the display to appear as shown below.

The function you input in step 2 above.

(x, y1, y2) number table y1 is the value of y1 for each x (value of f (x)), and y2 is the value of y1 for each x (value of f (x)). The colors of the y1, y2 text correspond to the colors of the graph lines.

Use the left and right cursor keys to move the vertical line left and right. This will also cause the following items to move accordingly: the point where the vertical line intersects with y1 and y2 (both indicated by red dots), and the tangent (green) of the y1 graph where the vertical line intersects with y1.

Chapter 16: Interactive Differential Calculus Application272

4. Use the cursor keys to move the vertical line, and observe how the y1 and y2 values change.

Compare y1 and y2. You should also observe the green tangent (y1 tangent) at this time.

The current location of the vertical line (x value) corresponds to the highlighted cell in the x-column of the number table.

You can also move the vertical line by dragging it with the stylus.

uTo change the group of items displayed in the number table

Tap ; to cycle through the settings shown below.

x, y1, y2 display x, y2, y3 display x, y1, y2, y3 display

Changing the items of the number table will also change the graph drawn on the DiffCalc Graph window.

Chapter 18: System Application279

Chapter 18: System Application You can use the System application to manage ClassPad memory (main memory, the eActivity area, and the storage area), and to configure various system settings.

18-1 Managing Memory Usage ClassPad has the following three independent memory areas for storing data: main memory area, eActivity area, and storage area.

Main memory: This area is for storage of application data and variables, except for eActivity.

eActivity area: This area is for storage of eActivity data.

Storage area: All ClassPad data can be exported as a single VCP file, and individual main memory and/or eActivity area data items can be exported as individual XCP files and stored in this area. When the ClassPad is connected to a computer via a USB connection, this area can be used to transfer data between the ClassPad and computer (page 288).

Starting up the System application displays a screen with three tabs, one for each of the memory areas described above. Tapping a tab will display a sheet for performing the operations below for the applicable memory area.

Delete main memory and eActivity area data

Search for and delete files and folders in the storage area, and create and rename folders

Import and export data (variable and eActivity) between main memory and the eActivity area, and the storage area

Using the Storage Sheet The [Storage] sheet appears first whenever the System application is started up. You can use this sheet to import and export files.

Chapter 19: Performing Data Communication288

Transferring Data between the ClassPad and a Personal Computer

Establishing a connection between ClassPad and a computer in USB Flash mode displays folder and files stored in the ClassPad storage area as folders and files in the computers ClassPad drive.

ClassPad has the following three independent memory areas for storing data: main memory area, eActivity area, and storage area. For details about these areas, see Chapter 18.

ClassPad

Computer

Flash ROM

eActivity Area

Storage Area (USB Flash Drive)

ClassPad Drive

Main Memory

Important! Do not use a computer operation to format the ClassPad drive. Doing so will cause a File System ERROR message to appear on the ClassPad screen after you terminate the USB connection between the ClassPad and computer. When this happens, you will not be able to start up the ClassPad unless you perform an initialize operation, which deletes all data currently in ClassPad memory.

Note When copying files to the ClassPad drive, it may take several minutes before copying starts. This is because

copying automatically performs optimization of the ClassPads Flash ROM. It does not indicate malfunction.

Copying files to the ClassPad drive can cause the connection between the ClassPad and computer to be dropped. If this happens, enter the System application and execute a Flash ROM optimize operation (page 284), and then re-establish a connection between the ClassPad and computer.

A USB connection between the ClassPad and a computer may be terminated automatically if the computer enters a power save mode, sleep mode, or any other standby state.

uTo transfer data between ClassPad and a computer

1. When transferring data from your ClassPad to a computer, first perform the operations below.

Export the data from the main memory or eActivity area to the storage area. Exported data is stored as an XCP file, which is a ClassPad proprietary file format. See To export variable data to XCP files (page 290) and To export eActivity data to XCP files (page 291).

If you want to copy all ClassPad data to a computer, save all of the file data as a VCP file, which is also a ClassPad Proprietary file format. See To save a VCP file (page 290).

2. Establish a connection between the ClassPad and computer, and then open the ClassPad drive on the computer.

See To establish a connection between ClassPad and a computer (page 287).

3. Perform copy, delete, and other file operations as required.

If you have a VCP file or XCP file you want to transfer to ClassPad, copy it to the ClassPad drive.

4. After you finish all the operations you want to perform, terminate the USB connection between ClassPad and the computer.

When you terminate a USB connection, ClassPad automatically imports a VCP file currently in the AutoImport folder. For details, see Auto Import of VCP Files below.

For information about how to import a VCP file manually, see To open a VCP file (page 290).

For information about how to import an XCP file manually, see To import an XCP file (page 291).

Chapter 19: Performing Data Communication289

Installing an Add-in Application Use the procedure below to install an add-in application (c2a file).

1. Perform steps 1 through 4 under To establish a connection between ClassPad and a computer (page 287).

2. Copy the add-in applications dc2a file to the ClassPad root directory.

3. Terminate the USB connection between ClassPad and the computer. See To terminate the connection between the ClassPad and a computer (page 287).

The icon of the application you just installed should now be visible on the application menu.

Auto Import of VCP Files When you terminate a USB connection, ClassPad automatically imports a VCP file currently in the AutoImport folder on the storage area.

Only one VCP file inside the top level of the AutoImport folder is imported to main memory and the eActivity area. Existing data is overwritten and new data is added. If there are multiple VCP files in the AutoImport folder, you need to select the one to be imported manually.

After auto import is complete, all folders and files in the AutoImport folder are moved to the SAVE-F folder.

Tip: The error message Insufficient Memory will appear if main memory or eActivity area memory runs low during the import operation. If this happens, delete data you no longer need from the main memory or eActivity area and try importing again.

Rules for ClassPad Files and Folders Up to 200 files per folder can be displayed on the storage memory information screen. If a folder has more

than 200 files and you need to display them all, divide them among multiple folders so the total number of files in a single folder is not greater than 200.

Though you can create folders on your computer nested to more than three levels in storage memory, the ClassPad will display only up to the third level.

The following are characters that can be used in file names and folder names. AZ, az, 09, !, #, $, %, , ,(comma), (, ), +, , ., ;, =, @, [, ], ^, _, `, ~, space

VCP and XCP File Operations When saving ClassPad eActivity data or variable data for storage on a computer or in the ClassPad storage area, you need to convert it to a VCP file or XCP file. VCP files and XCP files can be imported later to ClassPad from a computer or the ClassPad storage area when required.

A save operation saves the following variables and eActivity files.

(1) System variables: Ans, a0, list1, xmin, and other data

(2) User variables: Files saved with Geometry, Spreadsheet, Program, etc. List files, Mat files, etc. Image files saved as hard copies

(3) eActivity files

Saving to a VCP file (***.vcp) saves all of the above files and data currently in ClassPad main memory and eActivity area.

Saving (exporting) to an XCP file (***.xcp) saves only the variables or eActivity files for a specific data type (eActivity, Geometry, Spreadsheet, etc.).

VCP and XCP files can be transferred between ClassPad and a computer when there is a USB Flash mode connection between them. For details, see Transferring Data between the ClassPad and a Personal Computer (page 288).

Transferring Data between Two ClassPads You can transfer variable data and eActivity data between two ClassPad units. You can use either of the two following methods to transfer data between two ClassPad units.

Use the Communication application. The procedure below shows how to use this method.

Use the SendVar38k and GetVar38k program commands. See 12-4 Program Command Reference.

Chapter 19: Performing Data Communication292

uClassPad Operation

1. Use the procedure under Connecting to Another ClassPad Unit above to connect the two units.

2. Use the procedure under To configure communication parameters (page 285) to configure the parameters of the two units as shown below. Cable Type: 3pin cable Speed (3Pin): 115200 bps Wakeup Enable: On

On the sending ClassPad:

3. On the Communication application window, tap [Link] - [Transmit], or tap E.

This displays the Select Data dialog box. A list that shows user folders and the main folder appears first.

4. Select the data you want to send.

(1) Tap the [View] menu and then select the data type from the list that appears.

To list this on the Select Data dialog box: Select this [View] menu command:

User folders and the main folder Data Folder List

Library variables Library

System variable groups Application Status

eActivity folders eActivity Folder List

(2) Select the data you want to send.

On the Select Data dialog box, select the check box next to the data you want to send. You can also tap the [All] menu and select one of the following commands to select or deselect data.

To do this: Select this [All] menu command:

Select all currently displayed items Select List

Deselect all currently displayed items Deselect List

Select all items in all lists Select All Lists

Deselect all items in all lists Deselect All Lists

Opening a folder in [Data Folder List] or [eActivity Folder List] displays the variables and data contained inside it, which can be individually selected for transfer. To select a variable or data contained in a particular folder, tap its folder name to open it. To return to the folder list from a list of folder contents, tap I in the lower left corner of the window.

You can transfer all of the variables or data in a folder by selecting the check box next to the folder name on the data folder list or eActivity folder list.

5. Tap [OK].

6. In response to the confirmation message that appears, tap [OK] to send the data.

This sends the data you selected in step 4, and the receiving ClassPad automatically starts receiving the data.

The message Complete! appears to let you know when the send operation is finished.

7. Tap [OK] to return to the Select Data dialog box.

8. On the Select Data dialog box, tap [Cancel].

This returns to the Communication application window.

On the receiving ClassPad:

9. The message Complete! appears to let you know when the receive operation is finished. Tap [OK].

Chapter 19: Performing Data Communication293

Tip When wakeup is turned off on the receiving device, you need to perform the following operation on the receiving device

before performing step 3: Start up the Communication application, tap [Link] and then [Receive], or tap R. This puts the receiving unit into receive standby, which is indicated by the Standby dialog box on the display.

When you send a variable or data item, it is normally stored in the current folder of the receiving device. A variable or data item sent from the library folder of the sending device, however, is stored in the library folder of the receiving device.

Communication Standby The ClassPad enters communication standby when you perform a send or receive operation. While in communication standby, the ClassPad waits for the other unit to send data, or for it to get ready to receive data.

The following describes how communication standby affects certain ClassPad operations.

Auto Power Off (page 282) becomes disabled.

ClassPad power cannot be turned off.

If data communication does not start within three minutes after the ClassPad enters data communication standby, the message Timeout appears. When this happens, tap [Retry] to try again or [Cancel] to cancel the data communication operation.

Interrupting an Ongoing Data Communication Operation Pressing the c key on either the sending device or receiving device during a data communication operation terminates it.

19-4 Connecting the ClassPad to a Data Logger You can connect the Data Logger to your ClassPad and control Data Logger operation from your ClassPad.

Connecting a ClassPad to a Data Logger 1. Turn off the ClassPad and Data Logger.

2. Connect one end of the data communication cable (supplied SB- 62 cable) to the port of the Data Logger.

3. Connect the other end of the data communication cable to the 3-pin communication port of the ClassPad.

Ready Sampling Error Batt Power

SET UP START/STOP

CASIO EA-200

Tip For information about what you should do to transfer data, see the user documentation that comes with the EA-200.

You can transfer setup information from the ClassPad to the Data Logger, trigger sampling from the ClassPad, and graph sample results on your ClassPad. You can perform this procedure using the E-CON3 application, which is built into the ClassPad. For details about the E-CON3 function and its operation, see the E-CON3 Application Users Guide.

Chapter 19: Performing Data Communication294

19-5 Connecting the ClassPad to a Projector You can connect the ClassPad to a CASIO projector and project ClassPad screen contents onto a screen. For information about connectable projectors, visit the site below. https://edu.casio.com/support/projector/

Important! Some projector models may require a firmware update in order to project ClassPad screen contents. Before doing anything, go to the website above and check if your projector model requires updating.

Projecting ClassPad Screen Contents from a Projector

1. Turn off the ClassPad.

2. Connect one end of the special cable that comes with the ClassPad to the USB port of your projector.

3. Connect the other end of the special cable as shown nearby.

ClassPad will turn on automatically and the Select Connection Mode screen will appear.

4. Tap [Projector].

5. On the dialog box that appears, tap [OK].

Precautions when Connecting An hourglass figure may remain projected on the screen after you connect the ClassPad to a projector. Also,

changing to another screen while a graph is being drawn or while a program is running could possibly result in the projected screen being different from the ClassPad screen. If this happens, performing some operation on the ClassPad will restore normal display.

If the ClassPad stops operating normally, disconnect the USB cable and then reconnect it. If this does not correct the problem, disconnect the USB cable, turn the projector off and then back on, and then reconnect the USB cable.

Insufficient memory for unit-to-unit communication. Delete unnecessary eActivity contents.

Only the first selected function will be done.

Time out. The end of condition was not satisfied.

Too Many eActivity Files The data communication operation you are trying to perform is not possible because there are too many eActivity files.

Low Memory Error Processing An error occurs on the ClassPad if it is unable to reserve enough work area memory to perform a particular operation. When a low memory error occurs, any application in use at that point is shut down and an error message like the one shown below appears.

Tapping the [OK] button clears the error.

Important! To avoid loss of data, you should make it a regular habit to periodically perform the save operation.

You may lose some of the data you are inputting with an application that shuts down due to a low memory error. When the low memory error occurs while you are using the eActivity application to create data, for example, any unsaved data you have input is lost.

Resetting and Initializing the ClassPad The memory of your ClassPad is divided into four parts: main memory, a storage area for storing data, an eActivity area, and a RAM area for executing various calculations and operations. Reset and initialize restore normal ClassPad operation after some problem occurs.

RAM Reset: Perform RAM reset when the ClassPad freezes up or otherwise fails to perform as expected for some reason. A RAM reset does not affect data stored in main memory, the storage area, or the eActivity area, but it clears any data stored in the RAM area.

Memory Reset: There are four different types of memory reset operations. Deleting all variable and program data in main memory, deleting all eActivity data, deleting all data in the storage area, deleting all three of the above.

Memory Initialize: Memory Initialize deletes all data in ClassPad memory and returns all settings to their initial factory defaults.

This section explains how to perform the RAM reset operations only. The memory reset and memory initialize operations are performed using the System application. For details, see 18-2 Configuring System Settings.

Appendix308

u To perform the RAM reset operation

Important! The RAM reset operation deletes all data that is temporarily stored in ClassPad RAM. Performing the RAM

reset operation while a calculation is in progress will cause any data stored in RAM by the calculation to be lost.

Perform the RAM reset operation only when your ClassPad freezes up or when it begins to operate abnormally for some reason.

1. Use the stylus to press the RESTART button on the back of the ClassPad.

Following the RAM reset operation, the ClassPad restarts automatically.

2. After the ClassPad restarts, perform the ClassPad setup operation. For more information about the setup operation, see Loading Batteries and Setting Up the ClassPad in the separate Quick Start Guide.

The application menu appears after you finish the setup operation.

Number of Digits and Precision

Number of Digits Standard Mode The following applies when the check box next to the Decimal Calculation item on the Basic Format dialog box is not selected.

Up to 611 digits are stored in memory for integer values.

Decimal values up to 15 digits are converted to fraction format and saved in memory. When a mathematical expression cannot be converted to fraction format, the result is displayed in decimal format.

Values stored in memory are displayed as-is, regardless of how [Number Format] settings (Normal 1, Normal 2, Fix 0 to Fix 9, Sci 0 to Sci 9) are configured (except when a decimal value is displayed).

Decimal Mode The following applies when the check box next to the Decimal Calculation item on the Basic Format dialog box is selected.

Values stored in Ans memory and values assigned to variables have the same number of digits as defined for Standard mode values.

Values are displayed in accordance with how [Number Format] settings (Normal 1, Normal 2, Fix 0 to Fix 9, Sci 0 to Sci 9) are configured.

Displayed values are rounded to the appropriate number of decimal places.

Some applications store values using a mantissa up to 15 digits long and a 3-digit exponent.

Precision Internal calculations are performed using 15 digits.

The error for a single mathematical expression (Decimal mode calculation error) is 1 at the 10th digit. In the case of exponential display, calculation error is 1 at the least significant digit. Note that performing consecutive calculations causes error to be cumulative. Error is also cumulative for internal consecutive calculations performed for: ^(x y), x

', x!, nPr, nCr, etc.

Error is cumulative and tends to be larger in the vicinity of a functions singular point(s) and inflection point(s), and the vicinity of zero. With sinh(x) and tanh(x), for example, the inflection point occurs when x = 0. In this vicinity, error is cumulative and precision is poor.
