Title: graphing calculator
Post by: shuiend on 16 March 2003, 18:03

are there any graphing calculator programs for linux or windows out there? I am looking for some thing resembling a ti-83 but anything will work.

If you just want the language then find YaBasic.

octave and gnuplot, learn them and you should be fine, or use a ti emulater. btw the ti-83 was a piece of shit, i mean it uses a z80 for gods sake, get a real calculator like the ti-89 or ti-92, and while th ti92 is not allowed on exams the ti-89 is, and the 89 is almost the same as the 92. and it uses an m68k and has oodles of ram compared to the 83

and i love ti-basic, its the one language i have mastered. use it and see. its OO if you want it to be. and its very very very powerful for mathwork, all the functions of the calculator are useable/*if you know anything about the ti-89, youll understand just how powerfull some of that stuff is*/ and you can embed ASM into it. GOTO be damned, use all the nifty looping features and GOTO's for branch controll/*ei, in a nested if loop, if an if is meet, use a GOTO to break from it, or in gui functions*/

Let me second that.  Octave is a terrific program.

Ti basic was my... second language, after Qsoft basic on the amiga 600.  But how the f*** was it object oriented?  Surely you need some way to do "routine is" or similar?
BTW apparently the new model can run quake...    :D

edit : of course when I say language I mean stunted mumble.  I could get it to do maths stuff, that was it...
