Getting started with the TI-Nspire™ CX
handheld
The TI-Nspire™ CX handheld and the TI-Nspire™ CX CAS handheld are
the newest handhelds in the TI-Nspire™ family of products. Featuring a
backlit color display and a slimmer form, the handhelds provide
touchpad navigation, dynamic graphing, and interactive computer
features.
The handhelds and the TI-Nspire™ software share the same functionality,
enabling you to transfer class assignments from the handheld to the
computer or transfer documents to the handheld when you need to be
mobile. Start assignments at school, then finish the work at home to take
advantage of the software’s full-color display and easy-to-use navigation.
Use the software to download the latest software and handheld
operating system updates as they become available to ensure you have
the latest enhancements.
This guide covers both the TI-Nspire™ CX handheld and the TI-Nspire™
CX CAS handheld. While they operate identically in many ways, there are
a few distinctions. If the TI-Nspire™ CX CAS handheld has additional
functionality, it is pointed out and the CAS operation is described.
About CAS
With CAS, or the Computer Algebra System, you can:
• Perform both symbolic and numeric calculations.
• Factor and expand expressions and solve for common denominators.
TI-Nspire™ CAS technology makes it possible to recognize, simplify, and
calculate math expressions, preserving the symbols including variables
and terms such as “e” and p.
This ability to enter and view equations and expressions on screen as they
appear in textbooks is especially useful for step-by-step, arithmetic,
algebraic, and calculus calculations.
