app
A small application, designed for the
study of one or more related topics or
to solve problems of a particular type.
The built-in apps are Geometry,
Function, Solve, Statistics 1Var,
Statistics 2Var, Inference, Parametric,
Polar, Sequence, Finance, Linear
Solver, Triangle Solver, Linear
Explorer, Quadratic Explorer, Trig
Explorer, Spreadsheet, Advanced
Graphing and Datastreamer. An app
can be filled with the data and
solutions for a specific problem. It is
reusable (like a program, but easier to
use) and it records all your settings
and definitions.
button
An option or menu shown at the
bottom of the screen and activated by
touch. Compare with key.
CAS
Computer Algebra System. Use the
CAS to perform calculations in
symbolic mode. Such calculations
always return exact answers (unlike
calculations done in Home view,
which yield numeric approximations).
You can share results and variables
between the CAS and Home view
(and vice versa).
catalog
A collection of items, such as
matrices, lists, programs and the like.
New items you create are saved to a
catalog, and you choose a specific
item from a catalog to work on it. A
special catalog that lists the apps is
called the Application Library.
