Congrats on it working for you! Now, any ideas on why it might not be working for me? What keystrokes do you go through on your calc to get to implicit differentiation?

The 89 can't implicitly differentiate by itself, but there is a website that taught me to do it incorrectly:

glucose,
i'm not sure which ones, but there are several 89 programs that did not run on titaniums, several of my friends had the problem.

my point was that i don't think the extra cost of the titanium is not justified, it's not necessarily faster or better, and unless you want to load your calculator with starcraft, the extra memory is overkill. apps for school really don't take up that much space...

You get used to it. Esp. when it has all these helpful functions like Solve... put a "." after a fraction to get a decimal.

I can only get log() from the catalog.

does anyone know where I can get a good price on an 89 titanium? I just lost mine, and I haven't told my parents yet, but since they bought it, I'll probably have to replace it...

Just use ln (natural log).

Aw, you guys make me jealous. I'm still totin' around my bright green TI-83+! But it has pretty red and green apple stickers all over it, so... it must be infinitely cooler than all of yours :]

Does the clock/date in the upper right corner waste your batteries when your calculator is off? I feel like buying stickers to decorate my calculator. LOL.

glucose, I'm talking about logs of different bases, not just base 10 and base e.

What kind of subjects would I need a ti89 calc? I currently have a 84+. Useful in college as well?
