Re: 85 BASIC Programming HELP
<Question about solveing equations that Solver and Poly can't handle snipped>
: Sorry, there's no way to do that
: It only works for polynomials (solver).
Actually it can, but it is not built into TI's basic. Try looking in
a Numerical methods book. I remember having my TI-85 solving all
kinds of things, even simultaneous polynomail equations. Of courses
each type of equation works best with a certain method of solving and
there will always be cases that are divergent.
Most of the numerical solutions are iterative and will take a while
for all but the simplest problems, but there are methods to solve most
equations.
Too bad I have lost my collection of programs from my numerical
methods class as there were some good (and not so good) examples in
those.
