Numworks: Version 19.2 Is Available

Numworks:  Version 19.2 Is Available

19.2 Is Here

The full upgrade to software 19.2 is for Numworks N0110 and N0120 models.  Only some of the features will be available for the oldest version N0100. 

How do I know which version I have?  

1.  Press the Yellow Home button.

2.  Go down to Settings and press [ EXE ]

3.  Go down to the last option in the menu, About, and press [ → ]. 

4.  You will see the Software Version.  The last five characters of the FCC ID will tell you what model of Numworks you have.

To update your calculator, just open a browser like Google Chrome, plug in your calculator, go to the numworks.com website.  

Features

Some of the features of 19.2 are (from the Numworks page):

*  The Statistics App now offers four plots: Histogram, Boxplot, Cumulative Frequencies, Normal Probability Plot

*  Median-Median and Exponential regressions are added.

*  Lists are now available everywhere, including the main Calculation app.   List elements are accessed by using the parenthesis (example:  list(1)).  Unlike Python, the first element is designated as element 1.

*  Plots in the Grapher app can be set to any one of seven colors of the user's choosing.

*  Significant tests now include a graphical result in the Inference App

*  The memory for the Python app is increased from 32,000 to 42,000 bytes

*  In the Application menu, each of the apps are assigned to a shortcut key as follows:

1:  Calculation

2:  Grapher

3:  Solver

4:  Statistics (one variable stats)

5:  Regression (two variable stats)

6:  Inference

7:  Sequences

8:  Python

9:  Settings

TI-84 Plus CE: Version 5.3 Highlights

TI-84 Plus CE:  Version 5.3 Highlights

Piecewise Function

The piecewise( function is added to the Math menu under the math submenu, option B.  As a result, the equation solver has been moved to option C.  The piecewise function can hold from 1 to 5 pieces.

Conditions Template

Version 5.3 adds 16 test templates involving the variable X to the Test menu ([2nd] [math]).  This is meant to compliment the new piecewise function, especially in function graphing.  However, the variable can be changed as needed.  The screen shot below shows a condition template with a piecewise function.

Demo:

Tangent Drawing Command Adds Option to Store Tangent line

When a function is drawn, you can calculate and draw the tangent line at any continuous point while you are on the graph screen.  Version 5.3 adds the option to store the Tangent line to any available graphing equation (Y# for example).  The new functionality is available only in the Function mode. 

To generate the Tangent line, press [2nd] [prgm] (draw), option 5 to call up the Tangent command.  Arrow to the desired point.  Press [graph/f5] (MENU) for options.  Select your options, then press [enter].   Use either arrow keys or enter a number to get to a point and commence drawing the tangent line.

A demonstration is shown below.

Program Editing Tools

It’s been a long time coming:  the TI-84 Plus CE now has editing tools!  We now can insert comments (comments are indicted with quotation marks), insert blank lines, copy, cut, and paste lines.  There is even an option to execute the program immediately.  It is all accessible from pressing [alpha] [graph/f5].

Running Archived Programs

You can now run archived programs without unarchiving the program into RAM first.  We still need to unarchive programs in order to edit them. 

Other

*  Running assembly programs will no longer require the asm( command.

* The fraction bar can be called by [alpha] [X,T,θ,n].
