Abstract

Following are two screen images each of the algebraic calculators TI-89 and the TI-92. The first picture demonstrates the calculation of an antiderivative (indefinite integral) and the decomposition of a polynomial into linear factors. The second picture shows a 3-dimensional graph, which even can be rotated in real-time. The third picture shows the solution of a system of non-linear equations, a physical units conversion, and the conversion of the result of a binary number calculation into the hexadecimal system. The fourth picture provides you with the algebraic and the numeric/graphic solution of a differential equation.
