TI-55 III Programs Part I: Digital Root, Complex Number Multiplication, Escape
Velocity
This blog begins a three part series of programs with the TI-55 III. Let's show what this calculator can do.
For Part III: Area and Eccentricity of Ellipses, Determinant and Inverse of 2x2 Matrices, Speed of Sound/Principal Frequency
TI-55 III: Digital Root
Takes the digital root of an integer. To find the digital root:
1. Add up the number’s
digits.
2. The sum is over
10, add the digits again.
3. Repeat step 2
until you get a single digit.
Or alternatively, use the formula dr(n) = 1 + ((n-1) mod 9)
= n – 9 * integer((n-1)/9)

Partitions Allowed: 1-5, 1 register required

TI-55 III: Complex Number Multiplication
(a + bi)*(c + di) = (r1*r2) * e^(i*(θ1 + θ2))
Where r1 ∠ θ1 is the polar form of a + bi
and r2 ∠
θ2 is the polar form of c + di.

TI-55 III: Escape
Velocity
v = √(2*G*m/r)
v = escape velocity (m/s)
G = University Gravitational Constant = 6.67384 * 10^-11
m^3/(kg*s^2)
m = mass of the planet (kg)
r = radius of the planet (m)
Note that 2*G = 1.334768 * 10^-10 m^3/(kg*s^2)
