means and to display histograms. In the MATH menu, read about the
functions ROUND, POLYFORM and POLYROOT. Make sure you
know how to save and transfer aplets. Learn about the Sketch view
and the Notes catalog for a bit of fun.

Pre-Calculus

Typical topics covered include...
Solving complex linear and non-linear simultaneous equations, and
trig, exponential & complex quadratic equations, factoring of any
quadratic, use and re-arrangement of formulas, indices, trigonometry,
some statistics, absolute value and greatest integer functions,
matrices, logarithms and parametric equations.
Suggestions...
Cover all of the material mentioned for high school students. Read the
suggestions on how to deal with graphs whose shape you don't know
in advance. Learn how to use the Parametric aplet. Your teacher
might best advise on which portions of the Statistics aplet will be
relevant to you. In the MATH menu, also learn about functions
CEILING, ABS and FLOOR, POLYCOEF, and POLYEVAL. Read the
section covering the Matrices catalog and the functions DET, RREF,
INVERSE, and TRN.

Calculus

Topics covered here will vary according to which course students undertake
but there are very few skills covered in this manual which will not be of use at
some time. It is suggested that students skim the whole manual, and then
re-read it at intervals as material is covered in their courses and they begin to
see which parts of the manual are particularly relevant.
