You can also use the last answer as the rst argument in a new conversion calculation. Pressing
places the last answer on the entry line. You can also select a value from history and tap
to copy it to the entry line. with a measurement calls the convert command as well and converts to
whatever unit follows the Store symbol.
The Convert tool also converts bases on either single values or arrays of values.
convert(123,base,8) returns [3, 7, 1]
This result means that 123 in decimal notation equals 173 in octal notation, because the result always
reverses the digits.
convert([3, 7, 1],base,8) returns 123
The Convert tool can also be used to convert real numbers or ratios to continued fractions.
Example:
convert(pi,confrac) returns [3,7,15,1,292,1,1,1,2]
MKSA
Meters, kilograms, seconds, amperes. Converts a complex unit into the base components of the MKSA
system.
MKSA(8.175_cm/s) returns .08175_m/s
UFACTOR
Unit factor conversion. Converts a measurement using a compound unit into a measurement expressed in
constituent units. For example, a Coulomb—a measure of electric charge—is a compound unit derived from
the SI base units of Ampere and second: 1 C = 1 A * 1 s. Thus:
UFACTOR(100_C,1_A)) returns 100_A*s
USIMPLIFY
Unit simplication. For example, a Joule is dened as one kg*m
2
/s
2
. Thus:
USIMPLIFY(5_kg*m^2/s^2) returns 5_J
Physical constants
The values of 34 math and physical constants can be selected (by name or value) and used in calculations.
These constants are grouped into four categories: math, chemistry, physics and quantum mechanics. A list of
all these constants is given in List of constants on page 499.
To display the constants, press and then tap .
