Scientifi c Functions
This calculator has a variety of functions. Press m 0 to
select NORMAL mode and perform scientifi c calculations.
• For basic calculations, see page 11.
• When a listed fi nancial variable is displayed, you can enter
the result of a scientifi c calculation into it by pressing Q
immediately after completing the calculation.
• Scientifi c calculations can also be performed in STAT mode.
• The examples in this chapter are all performed under the SET
UP menu's default settings. Before starting calculation, press
s to clear the display.

Constant Calculations

Example
+
34 57 =

• In constant calculations, the addend becomes a constant.
Subtraction and division behave the same way. For multiplica-
tion, the multiplicand becomes a constant.
• In constant calculations, constants will be displayed as .

Chain Calculations

A calculation result (ANS memory) can be used in a subse-
quent calculation. However, it cannot be recalled after entering
multiple instructions.
