TI-74 Program: Five Stencil Derivative
This program estimates the numerical derivative of f(x) at x0 by the formula:
f'(x0) ≈ ( -f(x0+2h) + 8*f(x0+h) - 8*f(x0-h) + f(x0-2h) )/(12h)

TI-74 Program: Vertical Height on a Hill
Variables:
H = height of the observer
L = horizontal length
V = vertical angle (entered in degrees-minutes-seconds, DD.MMSSSS)
G = ground slope (entered in degrees-minutes-seconds, DD.MMSSSS)
If G>0, the hill is at an elevation. If G<), the hill is at an depression.
T = total height = vertical difference + observer's height
T = L * (tan V - tan G) + H
Since there is no DMS to decimal conversion function in TI-74's basic, a conversion is necessary. The following is sample code where A is DMS format needed to be converted:
T = ABS(A)
D = INT(T)
M = INT((T-D)*100)
S = ((T-D)*100-M)*100
A = (D+M/60+S/3600)*SGN(A)
The program code is shown below:
600 INPUT "LENGTH: ";L
602 INPUT "OBSERVER'S HEIGHT: ";H ! ' is SHIFT + SPACE
604 DEG: PRINT "ANGELS IN DD.MMSSSS": PAUSE 1.5
606 INPUT "VERTICAL ANGLE: ";V: A=ABS(V)
608 D=INT(A): M=INT((A-D)*100): S=((A-D)*100-M)*100
612 V=(D+M/60+S/3600)*SGN(V)
614 INPUT "GROUND SLOPE: ";G: A=ABS(G)
616 D=INT(A): M=INT((A-D)*100): S=((A-D)*100-M)*100
618 G=(D+M/60+S/3600)*SGN(G)
620 T=L*(TAN(V)-TAN(G))+H
622 PRINT "TOTAL HEIGHT =";T: PAUSE
624 END
Examples:
Input: L: 10 m, V: 30°14'33", G: 10°30'00", H = 1.7780 m
Result: T = 5.754638129 m
Input: L: 10 m, V: 30°14'33", G: -10°30'00", H = 1.7780 m
Result: T = 9.461464028 m

TI-74 Program: Solving Cubic Equations
This program solves the cubic equation:
A*X^3 + B*X^2 + C*X + D = 0
This program uses Newton's method to get the first root, then divides the polynomial by (x - root). Finally the quadratic formula is used to find the other two roots. This program assumes the coefficients A, B, C, and D are real. An initial guess of 1 is used (can be changed, see line 710).
