| 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.86p or phsolver.85p will not run on its own. It is essentially a shell program. You need 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.

5. Need Help With ASM?
Loading
and Running the Program
- Unzip the program from the downloaded .zip file.
- Get the TI-Graph Link Software and Cable
- Send the File to your Calculator
- Once the program is on your calculator you can run the program 3 different ways.
- Type in the name of the program from the home screen (case sensitive) and press [Enter].
- Press [PRGM], [ F1 ], and the appropriate F key corresponding to the name of the program. You may have to press [MORE] if you do not immediately see the program you are looking for.
- Specifically on the 86, you can run this program from any shell.
If you need a shell for the 86, check out ticalc.org's selection. I
prefer to use Rascall.
How to
Use the Solver
This program is extremely easy to figure out how to run. From the equations menu, use the F keys to select the equation you need. Or press [MORE] to see more options. More options will always be either more equations, an option to quit the program, or on the 85 an option to revert back to the first set of equations. There is no "More" option available within the menus of the 85.
Once you select the equation, use the F keys again to select the variable you do not know or to return back to the equation lists. Once you select your variable, you will be prompted for the values of the variables you know. Type them in and press enter. Once you have entered in all the variables you will be given the answer to the unknown variable. 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.
For the TI-86 there exists a BASIC and ASM version of all 24 of these programs and the shell programs as well. Below is some statistics on how the sizes of the two versions stack up and why you might want to consider downloading the ASM version of Physics Solver (v2.4)

Special
Thanks
I first learned how to program in TI-85 and TI-86 BASIC by a good high school friend, Matt Bennett. If it weren't for Matt I would have never found ticalc.org nor even began programming. We both shared our programs with each other through high school and he was there all the time when I needed help. Thank you! Oh, and if you ever read this Matt...I still haven't beat your world. I guess you are the master :-)

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! :-)
