TI-84 Plus CE Wish List and YouTube Shorts
TI-84 Plus CE Wish List
Disclaimer: I do not work for Texas Instruments nor do I know when (or if) TI is working on and publishing operating version 5.9, 6.0, etc. This is my opinion only (the opinion of a math and calculator enthusiast).
This focuses on the United States version of the TI-84 Plus CE series.
I would like to see the following in the next update:
1. Simplification of radicals and square roots.* Currently the series only has decimal approximations.
Examples:
√440 returns 2 * √110
√75 + √125 returns 5 √5 + 5 √3
2. Mathematical operations returning exact results in terms of π.* Like #1, the series only has decimal approximations.
Examples:
In radians mode, cos^-1 (1/2) returns π/3
2 π - 3/8 * π returns 13/8 * π
3. Base mode and conversions. With the exception of the classic TI-85 and TI-86, the TI-80s do not have a base mode nor base conversions. I would like to see that added, make room under the test menu.
4. More colors than 15 please. Maybe an RGB (red-green-blue) function in the TI-BASIC programming language?
With Gratitude to TI.

YouTube Shorts
From time to time, I will post YouTube short videos (60 seconds or less) to my YouTube channel (which has been a long time starving for content):

My channel covers primarily math and calculators.
