24 Section 1: Using [SOLVE| Effectively
Example: Solve the previous example without calculating the
derivative of the relative field intensity E.
The subroutine to calculate E and the required constants have been
entered in the previous example.
In Program mode, key in a subroutine that subtracts an estimated
extreme number from the field intensity E, The extreme number
should be stored in a register so that it can be manually changed as
needed.
