Need a manual for the Texas Instruments Ti-56 (55-III) Calculator
by Michael Uplawski from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4X5WF)
Good morning.
I forgot how to change the base for the logarithm-function and the exponent for the n-th root (a, a and the like) of something. The default base is 10 for the log key and the default is 2 for a.
Now my wife reads a fascinating book about mathematics in the wild and stumbles upon logarithm tables that I have to explain. My French is not awfully bad, but my TI-56 masters the facts much better... ;)
There are links to manuals on the Web, but the manuals are inaccessible or probably existent after a mere 34 years!
I believe that the LED-version of this calculator is otherwise identical to my "Slim LCD" design. And Ti-56 appears to be a European version of the TI-55 III or something. Anyway, around this time, logarithms and roots had probably been composed in the same way on several models of calculators.
So maybe you remember something ?
TIA.
Edit: It may not really serve to explain to my wife that she can calculate logaf 27
as 1/logaa 3 a- logaa 27...
So, I won't.
TY
