Texas Instruments TI-89 Tip List page 452

! Use of a function that parallels resistors. This function allows students to enter complex
series-parallel circuits in a simple format.
! A complete set of base conversions (including fractional) for digital electronics.
! Graphical display of a charging capacitor.
! Display and analysis of two and three phase waveforms, similar to the method used to calculate
phase shift on an oscilloscope.
! Use of functions to calculate the impedance of capacitors and inductors. These functions allow
students to enter complex AC impedance in a simple one-line format.
! A description of how readings can be directly entered into the calculator while an experiment is
being performed. A DC motor is used as an example.
"All of the examples are geared toward helping students understand the power and convenience of the
Tl-92. Many of the examples would be more difficult or impossible if attempted on another calculator.
