It has been attempted to design this manual to cover the full use of the
hp 39g+ calculator. This means explanations which will be useful to anyone
from a student who is just beginning to use algebra seriously, to one who is
coming to grips with advanced calculus, and also to a teacher who is already
familiar with some other brand of graphic calculator.
Readers may encounter one of two difficulties. Firstly, the information in here
will be beyond the needs of some readers and secondly, the explanations
may be too detailed for more advanced users.
For students who don't yet need the more advanced capabilities, suggestions
on which parts of the manual to read are given below. For more advanced
users, it is suggested that you read the sections on the Function, Sequence,
Statistics, Inference, Finance and Solve aplets, and also read the 'Tips and
Tricks' sections which follow many of the chapters.
Early High School
Typical topics covered include...
Solving linear equations, graphing linear equations and possibly
simple quadratics, examining number patterns, multiplying
polynomials, factoring simple polynomials, calculations involving
powers (

positives and negatives, scientific notation, indices, systems of
equations and inequalities, parallel and perpendicular lines, dividing
polynomials, solving quadratics, rational expressions and equations.
Suggestions...
Read about the Function aplet in full, ignoring any sections that seem
to advanced. Learn about Intersection and Root in the
and make sure you know how the
SETUP work. Learn to Build Your Own in the NUM view because it
lets you find values for rules easily. Learn to use the HOME view for
routine calculations, the MODES view, and how to use the calculator's
memories. Read about the Solve aplet and how to use it to solve
equations. Read about the Statistics aplet and how to use it to find
