Numworks: Update to Software Version 15.5
New Features
Some of the new features include:
Calculation Mode:
* The Calculation mode gets a new section: Vectors. The available functions are dot, cross, and norm.
* The ref and rref functions are added to the Matrices section.
* When the results is a matrix, we can go up into the history, select the three dots next the matrix. This gives us the additional results: determinant*, inverse*, row echelon form, reduce row echelon form, and trace* (*for square matrices only)
* Like functions, sequences can be evaluated from outside the respective graphing (Sequence) mode.
Functions Mode:
* The graph can be auto-scaled.
Other:
* The gcd and lcm commands can accept more than two arguments.
* Even though they can't be used in algebraic expressions, the °C and °F units are added to the units menu.
* Many imperial (United States) units are added such as ft, acre, lb, and gal.

I have to remember than Numworks does a lot more than Python.
