Description	Imagine being able to not have to pay attention in your Physics class ever again!! This program will let you solve 140 physics equations for any variable within each equation. Not only can you solve for whatever you want, but this program is easier to use than than the calculator's own Operating System. It also features the ability to only load certain subjects on your calculator when you need them since they are divided up by subjects (24 programs total,) this will save you a lot of space! Finally if you and/or your friends struggle in Physics you need to get these programs, they exist for nearly every programmable TI Graping calculator, so check em out and start getting better grades today!

The program within this .zip file called 'phsolver' will not run on its own. It is essentially a shell program. You need at least one of the 24 programs located within the folder Physics Solver v1.2 to use this shell. This program is not necissary to run any of the other 24 programs either. They run on their own, thus this program is not necissary and only serves to make it easier for you if you chose to use it.

Loading and Running the Program

Unzip the program from the downloaded .zip file.

Using any .zip utility you wish, unzip the .82p(TI-82), .83p(TI-83), or .8xp(TI-83+) program from the .zip file. I use ZipGenius.

Get the proper linking software and cable

Currently the 82 and 83/84 series of calculators can use both TI-Graph Link and TI Connect software to transfer this program to your calculator. Most likely you will need to use TI Connect to send the file to your calculator. However both methods are described below.

Sending with TI Connect

If your calculator didn't come with the software you will need to download it first. Install the program and hook your USB cable up to your computer and calculator. Turn your calculator on to the home screen and start the TI DeviceExplorer. You may have to change a few setting for your computer to establish a connection with your calculator, and there is a help file within TI Connect to help you with that if you need it. Once you have a connection established drag and drop the file from within this .zip file to the DeviceExplorer window and you will see it transfer to your calculator.

Sending with TI-Graph Link

Very few people use the old TI-Graph Link cable anymore. The software is still widely used to edit BASIC programs. If you don't have the software download it from TI. Install the TI-Graph Link software for your calculator and run the program. Turn your calculator on and have it set at the default home screen (can't be in a program.) NOTE: You may have to set your calculator in "Receive" mode on the 82/83. Press [2nd], [x,t,..] then right and enter. Ok back to the computer...click the icon near the top tool bar that has the arrow pointing at the calculator. You may have to change your port number if a link is not correctly established. Once you have a secure connection find this program and select it to send to your calculator. Beyond here will be easy to figure out. Complete sending the desired programs to your calculator.

Once the program is on your calculator you can run the program 2 different ways.

Press [PRGM] and then use the up/down arrows to select the program from the list. Once it is highlighted press [ENTER]. And then enter one more time when you are at the home screen. It should say something like prgmACCELERA. This method will work for all three calculators this program is available for.
If you are using the TI-83 + or TI-84 Plus you can load the .8xp file and run the program in MirageOS.

How to Use the Solver

This program is extremely easy to use and run. From the equations menu, scroll up and down and select the equation you want to use. The bottom option will always be to quit the program, however the number for it is dependant on the number of equations. Press enter when your equation is highlighted.

Once you select the equation, scroll up and down and select the variable you need to solve for or chose to go bck to the previous menu by choosing "Back." Press enter on the variable you Don't know and continue to the next form. On the next form just fill out all the values of the variables you know and press enter one last time to see the answer. Neat huh! :-)

Other Programs You Might Need

This is one program in a set of 24 all of which represent a chapter from my high school IB physics book. I took each chapter and gathered all the equations from it and essentially just made a program for that chapter which I could use on that chapter test. Never did I think I would upload them. Anyway, if you like the layout I used on this program and need programs for other topics I have listed them all in the following table. These links will download the files directly not lead you to their fileinfo pages.

Need Help With ASM ?

If you are wanting help with any part of TI-86 or any TI-83 series z80 Assembly math feel free to contact me. I know a good amount of ASM for both calculators, but certainly not all of it. I love helping out. It gives me an opportunity to learn if I don't know how to do it already. So like I said, feel free to contact me. I have AIM and am on quite a bit. My screen name is Morgazum85.

I have stopped programming in BASIC for all TI Calculators, but I may be able to assist you in some circumstances. If you have any questions with the source of this program I will gladly answer them for you. That's about it. Thanks for downloading and please feel free to use segments of this code if you wish, but please give credit. Thanks for downloading and feel free to give the program to anyone you want! :-)
