Re: Symbolic math for the Ti 86 ?
Fellow TI-ers:
Writing software to do symbolic processing on a platform like the
TI-85 would be tough! Why? Because symbolic algebra systems require
exetensive symbol manipulation capabilities - and that implies use of
a language such as Lisp, C/C++, Pascal... The BASIC built into TI
calculators doesn't directly support the kinds of data structures
required for symbolic manipulation. My TI-92 does a wonderful job on
expressions, but I'd be hard pressed to extend it's capabilities in
BASIC. The way to add symbolic math to a TI-85 would be by developing
the code on a conventional computer, then cross-compiling the code to
run on the '85. This is probably TI's own process.
