30 Appendix A – Glossary
app
A small application, designed for the study of one or more related topics or to solve problems of a particular
type. The built-in apps are Function, Advanced Graphing, Geometry, Spreadsheet, Statistics 1Var, Statistics
2Var, Inference, DataStreamer, Solve, Linear Solver, Triangle Solver, Finance, Parametric, Polar, Sequence,
Linear Explorer, Quadratic Explorer, and Trig Explorer. An app can be
lled with the data and solutions for a
specic problem. It is reusable (like a program, but easier to use) and it records all your settings and
denitions.
button
An option or menu shown at the bottom of the screen and activated by touch. Compare with key.
CAS
Computer Algebra System. Use the CAS to perform exact or symbolic calculations. Compare to calculations
done in Home view, which often yield numerical approximations. You can share results and variables between
the CAS and Home view (and vice versa).
catalog
A collection of items, such as matrices, lists, programs and the like. New items you create are saved to a
catalog, and you choose a specic item from a catalog to work on it. A special catalog that lists the apps is
called the Application Library.
command
An operation for use in programs. Commands can store results in variables, but do not display results.
expression
A number, variable, or algebraic expression (numbers plus functions) that produces a value.
function
An operation, possibly with arguments, that returns a result. It does not store results in variables. The
arguments must be enclosed in parentheses and separated with commas.
Home view
The basic starting point of the calculator. Most calculations can be done in Home view. However, such
calculations only return numeric approximations. For exact results, you can use the CAS. You can share results
and variables between the CAS and Home view (and vice versa).
input form
A screen where you can set values or choose options. Another name for a dialog box.
key
A key on the keypad (as opposed to a button, which appears on the screen and needs to be tapped to be
activated).
Library
A collection of items, more specically, the apps. See also catalog.
