Extra Detail Suite
« on: March 02, 2011, 02:59:18 pm »
Hello,
So I never, ever do my math homework.  I consider it a waste of time.  For a while, my teacher tried using an iron fist, never accepting late work or offering extra credit.  And my grades would suck.  She would end up getting pissed off though, when I would ace her tests, and thus, avoid failing.  However, we have recently struck up a deal.  Every TI-Basic math program that I give her will count for one 100% homework assignment - provided they are better than the ones she already has.
With this in mind, I have started writing tons of TI-Basic math programs.  And the angle I'm doing in order to surpass the quality of her exisiting ones is this: Extra Detail.  What this means is that not only does each program give you the answer, it shows the work as well (or finds some other way of providing extra detail).  I have completed a program already for calculating the Cross Product of two vectors that shows all of the work necissary to reach the answer.  After finishing this, I started on a triangle solver program, which is about 50% complete.  The only problem with these programs is that they take a while - the cross product one was a few hours of work.
Once I get a good number of these done, I'll release them in a bundle (they rely heavily on common subprograms).

It shows all the work :)

Never saw it (good enough) for the 83+, nice Sir!

That seems interesting. Hopefully it might help some people. Just make sure they can't be used to cheat, though, or at least encourage in your readme to not cheat.

Nice Scout!  Yeah, the problem I'm facing is mostly spacing things out - "10" takes up twice the space of "1", but I still managed to arrange the matricies properly (which is why it took a long time).
I also put together a method of converting a number to a string without using LinReg (which messes up the graph screen).
DJ_O, it could be used for cheating, but it is mostly for clarifying a process.  (Plus, I have to learn how to do all of this myself in order to implement it :P)

Is it graphical?  The point of mine is that it is graphical - you just enter the known values on a graphical triangle and it shows the missing ones.  And it works for non-right triangles.

Nice, it looks pretty cool :)
I think I'll make my own, though.  I like the challenge.
Here's a screenie of the cross product program and the WIP triangle solver.  (Yes, I know it's an impossible triangle :P)

Hmm nice, triangles :D

I always wished I had this in math classes back in 2001-03.

Cool. I wish I'd had these back when I was doing trig. Any chance you can make one for indefinite integration? :D :D :D <--- Joke. I realize this is nigh-impossible.

Your next request will be a 1024 bit TI-Nspire RSA key factorer for the calc, right? :P

Oh, don't you want the 30-second 1024 bit factoring program?
EDIT: Ninja'd
