Solvers

The Solver Aplets each have only a single view. These Aplets include the Finance Aplet, the Linear Solver, and the Triangle Solver. Each is designed to

solve problems of a particular type. The Finance Aplet solves TVM and amortization problems, the Linear Solver finds solutions to systems of linear equa-

tions, and the Triangle Solver finds angles and side lengths in problems involving triangles.

The Finance Aplet

The Finance Aplet solves time-value-of-money (TVM) and amortization problems. See Table 1-9. Press APLET, scroll to the Finance Aplet, and press the

START menu key to get started. The Finance Aplet has two pages, one for TVM problems and the other for amortization. As you will see, the amortization

page uses values from the TVM page.
