Getting Started with the TI-89 Titanium

The opening screen for TI-89 Titanium is similar to the following:






HOME

To access CAS, press the HOME button or select Home on the opening screen.
(APPS returns you to the opening screen from all applications)

From the HOME screen, you can access the menus by pressing the F1 to F6 buttons.
The F6 menu can be accessed by the arrow keys or by pressing 2
nd
F1


F1 Tools
This is similar to a conventional File or Edit menu on a computer program.



Option 8 Clear Home is useful to clear the HOME screen of previously used
expressions.


F2 Algebra
This has many of the CAS commands.

Selecting Option 1 Clear az is recommended to clear the variables before starting a
new session.

2D Plotting

The 2D plotting features are similar to those of a TI-83 or TI-83+. The yellow options
above the F1 to F5 buttons allow you to perform these operations. To access them,
press the yellow button first. You can also use the Y=, Graph and Table
applications on the opening screen.


Statistics

Return to the opening screen by pressing the APPS button

To enter values into lists for statistical analysis, select Data/Matrix/Editor then New.
In the Variable box, enter the name stat1 and press Enter.



Enter the following numbers into c1 and c2 lists.



There are seven menus available in the statistics application. These are:
