programming equations

[idahoskeeter]

I am new to trying to program my 89. I would like to learn, and have some interesting equations that deal with instrumentation. Can anyone help?

Hi idahoskeeter,

There is some basic information about programming on the site here:

http://www.ti-89.org/programs.html

Also, there is a link on that page to the TI-89 Programmer's reference.

The basic idea, is to go to Apps -> Programs -> New, and start typing a sequence of commands, using commands like Request or Input to gather data from the user, perform the calculations, and use commands like Disp to print out the results. Can you provide a sample problem and a procedure for how it should interact with the user, and we can try to build a simple program to demonstrate?

Hope this helps!
