Inputting an Expression Using Natural Textbook Format (MathI/MathO or MathI/DecimalO Only)

Formulas and expressions that include fractions and/or special functions such as √  can be input in natural textbook format by using templates that appear when certain keys are pressed.


Note

When you press and obtain a calculation result, part of the expression you input may be cut off. If you need to view the entire input expression again, press and then use and to scroll the input expression.

Natural Textbook Format Input Examples

Pay close attention to the location and size of the cursor on the display when you input using natural textbook format.


Example 1: To input 23 + 1

  • 23
  • 1

Example 2: To input 1 + √2 + 3

  • 12
  • 3

Example 3: To input 3 12 + 5 32

  • ()
  • 312
  • () 532

Example 4: To input ( 1 + 25 )2 × 2

  • 1252

Example 5: To input 2 + √21 + √2

  • 2212

Tip: While the input cursor is located within the input area of a template (mixed fractions), pressing jumps to the position immediately following (to the right) of the template, while pressing jumps to the position immediate before (to the left of) it.



Undo Operations

To undo the last key operation, press (UNDO).
To redo a key operation you have just undone, press (UNDO) again.

Incorporating a Value into a Function

When using natural textbook format, you can incorporate part of an input expression (a value, an expression within parentheses, etc.) into a function.


Example: To incorporate the expression inside of the parentheses of 1 + (2 + 3) + 4 into the √  function

  • 1234
  • (INS)

This changes the shape of the cursor as shown here.

This incorporates the expression in the parentheses into the function √ .
