APDTM (Automatic Power DownTM) turns off the TI-30X Ö automatically if no key is pressed for about 5 minutes. Press & after APD. The display, pending operations, settings, and memory are retained.

2-Line Display: The first line (Entry Line) displays an entry of up to 88 digits (or 47 digits for Stat or Constant Entry Line). Entries begin on the left; those with more than 11 digits scroll to the right. Press ! and ” to scroll the line. Press %! or %” to move the cursor immediately to the beginning or end of the entry.

The second line (Result Line) displays a result of up to 10 digits, plus a decimal point, a negative sign, a “x10” indicator, and a 2-digit positive or negative exponent. Results that exceed the digit limit are displayed in Scientific Notation.

_Indicator	Definition
2nd	2nd function.
HYP	Hyperbolic function.
FIX	Fixed-decimal setting.
SCI, ENG	Scientific or Engineering Notation.
STAT	Statistical mode.
DEG, RAD, GRAD	Angle mode (degrees, radians, or gradients).
K	Constant mode is on.
x10	Precedes the exponent in Scientific or Engineering Notation.
	An entry is stored in memory before and/or after the active screen. Press and to scroll. 1 ̧
	An entry or menu displays beyond 11 digits. Press or to scroll.

2nd Functions: % displays the 2nd indicator, and then selects the 2nd function (printed above keys) of the next calculates the square root of 25 and returns the result, 5. key pressed. For example, %b 25 E<

Menus: Certain TI-30X Ö keys display menus: z, %h, L, %t, u, %w, H, I, =, %k, %d, %‚, and %.

Press ! or ” to move the cursor and underline a menu item. To return to the previous screen without selecting the item, press -.

To select a menu item:
¦ Press < while the item is underlined, or
¦ For menu items followed by an argument value, enter the argument value while the item is underlined. The item and the argument value are displayed on the previous screen.

Previous Entries

After an expression is evaluated, use # and $ to scroll through previous entries, which are stored in the TI-30X Ö memory. You cannot retrieve previous entries while in STAT mode. You can edit a previous entry and press < to evaluate the new expression.

Last Answer

The most recently calculated result is stored to the variable Ans. Ans is retained in memory, even after the TI-30X Ö is turned off. To recall the value of Ans:

¦ Press %i (Ans displays on the screen), or
¦ Press any operations key (T, U, F, etc.) as the first part of an entry. Ans and the operator are both displayed.

Order of Operations

The TI-30X Ö uses EOSé (Equation Operating System) to evaluate expressions.

1_st	Expressions inside parentheses.
2nd	Functions that need a ) and precede the argument, such as sin, log, and all RÍP menu items.
3rd	Fractions.
4th	Functions that are entered after the argument, such as x2 and angle unit modifiers (Ä Å Æ r g).
5th	Exponentiation (^) and roots (x‡).
6th	Negation (M).
7th	Permutations (nPr) and combinations (nCr).
8th	Multiplication, implied multiplication, division.
9th	Addition and subtraction.
10th	Conversions (A bÌcÍdÌe, FÍD, 4DMS).
11th	enter< completes all operations and closes all open parentheses.

Clearing and Correcting

Fractions N %j %O

Fractional calculations can display fractional or decimal results. Results are automatically simplified.

¦ N enters a fraction. Press N between whole number, numerator, and denominator. The unit, numerator, and denominator must be positive integers.
¦ %j converts between fractions and decimals.
¦ %O converts between mixed numbers and simple fractions.

Pi

p=3.141592653590 for calculations.
p=3.141592654 for display.

Angle Modes

DRG displays a menu to specify the Angle mode as degrees, radians, or gradients.

= displays a menu to specify the Angle unit modifier— degrees (Ä), radians (r), gradients (g), or DMS (Ä Å Æ). It also lets you convert an angle to DMS Notation (4DMS).

To set the Angle mode for any part of an entry:
¦ Select the Angle mode. Entries are interpreted and results displayed according to the Angle mode, or

¦ Select a unit modifier (Ä Å Æ) for any part of an entry. Entries with unit modifiers are interpreted accordingly, overriding the Angle mode. To convert an entry:
¦ Set the Angle mode to the unit you want to convert to. Then use a unit modifier to designate the unit to convert from. (Angles of trigonometric functions convert values inside parentheses first.), or
¦ Select 4DMS, which converts an entry to DMS (Ä Å Æ) Notation.

Trigonometry >?@ %Z[\

Enter trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan, sin-1, cos-1, tan-1), just as you would write them. Set the desired Angle mode before starting trigonometric calculations.

Hyperbolics

%Y displays the HYP indicator and accesses the hyperbolic function of the next trigonometry key that you press. Angle modes do not affect hyperbolic calculations.

Logarithms A B %]^

A yields the common logarithm of a number.
B yields the logarithm of a number to the base e (e=2.819291929).
%] raises 10 to the power you specify.
%^ raises e to the power you specify.

Rectangular Í Polar %k

%k displays a menu to convert rectangular coordinates (x,y) to polar coordinates (r,q) or vice versa. Set Angle mode, as necessary, before starting calculations.

Constants %l

%l turns Constant mode on and lets you define a constant.

To store an operation to K and recall it:

Press %l.
Enter any combination of numbers, operators, and/or values, up to 44 characters, beginning with an operator.
Press < to save the operation. K displays in the indicator line.
Each subsequent time you press <, the TI-30X Ö recalls the stored operation and applies it to the last answer or the current entry.

Press %l again to turn Constant mode off.

Memory z L %h{

The TI-30X Ö has 5 memory variables—A, B, C, D, and E. You can store a real number or an expression that results in a real number to a memory variable.

¦ z accesses the menu of variables.
¦ L lets you store values to variables.
¦ %h recalls the values of variables.
¦ %{ clears all variable values.

Notation %‚ %d %C

%‚ displays the Decimal Notation mode menu. These modes affect only the display of results. F (default) restores standard notation (floating-decimal) format.
0123456789 sets decimal places to n (0–9), retaining numeric notation mode format.

%d displays the Numeric Notation mode menu. These modes affect only the display of results.

¦ FLO (default): Floating Notation, with digits to the left and right of the decimal
¦ SCI: Scientific Notation
¦ ENG: Engineering Notation (exponent is a multiple of 3)

%C enters a value in Scientific Notation, regardless of the numeric notation mode. Press M before entering a negative exponent.

Statistics %t w vu

1-VAR analyzes statistical data from 1 data set with 1 measured variable, x. 2-VAR stats analyzes paired data from 2 data sets with 2 measured variables—x, the
independent variable, and y, the dependent variable. You can enter up to 42 data sets.

To define statistical data points:

Press < %t. Select 1-VAR or 2-VAR and press . The STAT indicator displays.
Press v.
Enter a value for X1.
Press $.
¦ In 1-VAR stat mode, enter the frequency of occurrence (FRQ) of the data point. FRQ default=1. If FRQ=0, the data point is ignored.
¦ < In 2-VAR stat mode, enter the value for Y1 and press

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all data points are entered. You must press < or $ to save the last data point or FRQ value entered. If you add or delete data points, the TI-30X Ö automatically reorders the list.
When all points and frequencies are entered:
¦ Press u to display the menu of variables (see table for definitions) and their current values, or ¦ Press v to return to the blank STAT screen. You can do calculations with data variables (Ï, Ð, etc.). Select a variable from the u menu and then press < to evaluate the calculation.

When finished:
¦ Press %t and select CLRDATA to clear all data points without exiting STAT mode, or
¦ Press %w< to clear all data points, variable and FRQ values, and to exit STAT mode (STAT indicator turns off).
