Notes
•
The examples on the transparency masters
assume all default settings.

The transparency master showing the
Equation Operating System (EOS

)
demonstrates the order in which the
TI-30X

•
Operations inside parentheses are
performed first. Use

to change the
order of operations and, therefore, change
the result.
