Riemann update
I am releasing version 1.1 of the riemann sum solver today. Basically, I
just added a few options and cleaned it up a bit, but the README file
should give the rest of the story. Since I use a Mac, and since so many
other people don't, it's a real pain in the butt to try to upload it onto
ticalc.org because I'd have to upload one version for Mac users (with
resource fork) and one without the fork for PC users :( So, I attached it
along with the text file in this message. Please tell me if you have any
problems getting it, and PLEASE don't flame me :) They're not too big...
Thank you for your patronage!
RIEMANN.83p
Name: Riemann Sum Finder
Author: David Endahl
Version: 1.1
Machine: TI-83 BASIC
Released: June 8, 1998
Size: 767 bytes
Features:
Solves for Riemann sums using left endpoints, right endpoints and
midpoints
Solves using trapezoids
Solves using Simpson's Rule (whatever that is... I don't remember :) )
Version History:
1.1 Added more options to main menu and made it a little more "user
friendly":
-Now you can change "N"
(subintervals) witout having to restart
-You can revise all your data
without restarting
-You can see the data again if you
forgot what your variables were
Size increased by 64 bytes
1.0 First Release (port from 85 version)
Installation:
1) Copy RIEMANN.83P to your calc
2) Run prgmRIEMANN
How does it work?
It's not too hard to figure out. The program first asks you for
the right endpoint and the left endpoint of your function (A, then B), then
it will ask you for the number of subintervals you want to use (N).
Finally it will ask for the equation itself (Y=ax^2+bx+c, y=mx+b, or
whatever). Simply enter the equation as you would in your "Y=" screen.
You don't need to put the equation in quotes, since it stores it as a
string. Once you've completed this first part, you can select from the
menu what you want to do with the equation.
Future stuff to do:
-Optimize optimize optimize!!!!
-Any other suggestoins? E-mail me!

Since I'm such a nice guy, I'll unlock the program and say that
anyone do whatever they want with it, but please keep this text file with
it at all times. Thanx! :)
Thanks to Patrick Franklin, who designed the original version for the 85.
