Any calculator nerds? ti-84

How do you put notes onto a ti-84? I don't understand this thing, it's not like my jeep. It doesn't respond to being hit with a socket wrench.....

I saw that, but I was wondering if there was something more detailed I could use. Like a way to do it from the computer or something. I need to put a good amount of notes, for legit reasons, not small cheat answers.

Hmm... thanks for the help though, you know of anything else?

you google it?

Get a piece of paper about the same size as the calculator. Write your notes on said piece of paper, write small if you have alot of notes. Now with clear tape, firmly tape said paper with notes to the back of your calculator.

no no no you have to flip the calc out of the cover, you tape it to the inside of the cover silly

Update. I downloaded Notefolio to my calc. It's pretty sweet! You go into it, and it works like a Microsoft Word document, and you download the contents to your calc. In fact, I found some other bad *** nerd programs, You can add a thermometer to your calc to measure the temp and graph it yourself (trends in your local weather). A pretty sweet periodic table app. And I found ticalc.org, which has some apps that allow you to solve for y (you can only solve for x on the it 84), plus major graphing apps, and some temp conversions, along with a stoichiometry app.
just thought id toss that in there...

WTF...that is not a calculator. That is a computer. A calculator does 2+2...not notes or graphs or temperature reading or any of that other crap. Destroy it before it becomes sentient please.

it hacked into my brain and is making me misbehave!

Get a TI85 Titanium. I've had mine since college, and it goes *almost* everywhere I do.

Really useful for solving matrices and doing complex transformations. Plus, you know, tetris.

TI-89 TITANIUM sitting next to me right now. It was great for triple integrals and some of the oddball derivatives I had to know. Solving matrices when doing indeterminate beams was also great. I've also had mine since college. The only thing taped to mine is my name.

PDX_XJ · 07-24-2009, 03:43 PM

Tape? Hah! I carved my name (and a skull) into the back of mine with a dremel. (Come to think of it, mine might be an 89.)

**Mean Max** · 07-24-2009, 03:46 PM

I got a new one too!
