Calculus on TI-85

There are many types of calculus problems, including differentiation and integration. Would you care to be a little more specific?

Well it is just a calculator, it cannot do all the possible integrals you might think of. You may try to help it a bit by using the usual techniques that you were taught to transform the integral into another it might be able to find: change of variables, integration by parts. You cannot let the success on your AB or BC exam depend solely on the calculator.

Press 2ND MATH to bring up the Math menu. Select "Calculus" and then "integrate." Enter the expression, the variable of integration, the lower limit, and the upper limit, separated by commas. Close the final paren and press ENTER or diamond ENTER.

For example, to calculate the integral from 0 to pi of sin(x) dx, you want

INT(sin(x),x,0,pi)

where INT is the integral sign and pi is the lower-case Greek pi.

Yes. Look in the calculus menu (2nd [CALC]). You'll find nDer, der1, and der2 for numerical differentiation and fnInt for numerical integration.

You'll find full details on these functions in the "Math, Calculus, and Test Operations" chapter of your guidebook. If you need a new guidebook, you can download it from http://www.education.ti.com

The newer version of the OS 2.0.0.1188 is quite different from the initial version. It would be a good idea to upgrade the OS.
Back to your question. Since I upgraded my calculator, I am unable to illustrate the calculations with screen captures that are meaningful to you. If you do not mind I will show you how to calculate derivatives and integrals using OS Version 2.0.0.1188

In Calculator Mode

1. Press the Menu button.
2. Use down arrow to highlight 4:Calculus or just press 4
3. Select 1:Numerical derivative at a point and press ENTER
4. An entry screen opens where you can select the name of the independent variable (default is x, not X), the point where you want the derivative and whether you calculate the first or the second derivative.
5. After you make your choices, you press ENTER and a template is displayed in calculator screen.
6. All you have to do then is to specify the function you are differentiating.

Here are a few screen captures to illustrate the process.








For the numerical integration
Select Calculus (see above)>Numerical Integration>ENTER.
Type in your integral using the template. Here is the procedure illustrated.

Hello,
If by calculus problem you mean derivatives of functions, integrals, extrema and such things, I am sorry to inform you that neither the Casio FX-300MS, nor the FX-991MS can handle them. The newer Casio calculator FX-991ES is capable of performing numerical differentiations and integrations. There also graphing calculators by Casio FX-9750G, FX-9860G as well as by Texas Instruments (TI 83 PLUS/TI84PLUS) that are reasonably performant in that area.

Hope it helps.

Hello,
This means that you are using a non-algebraic variable in an expression. I know, I am not even paraphrasing. Exemple: if you write 2 + johnQ, where johnQ is a table of data, a picture or a GDB, graphical data base object.

Here is an exemple where mat is a 2X2 matrix and mot is a table.
Hope it helps.

Hello,
Yes we can do algebra on thre TI83 Plus calculator, a lot of algebra, statistics, probabilities, graphing functions several ways, calculus(integral, differential). A lot.
If you have a particular question post it and someone will be happy to help you, and show you how to do it on your calculator.

Good luck.

the best calculator wch i prefer for engg students s Casio Fx - 991ms ScientificCalculator...this a very gud calci...plz buy this its worth...u hav all the functions neccessary for u!!!!
