does anybody know of any place where i can download a solver program for the ti-83/ti-83+ like the one on the ti-86. My former Ap-chem teacher has asked me to find a solver program for the ti-83 because everybody is using them now that the ti-86 is out of production. I just need a program that can solve quadratic equations without the equation needing to be in standard form to enter it in to the calculator

If you go right away you will find one at the top of the listings here;
the menus and graphics are just a pain, i would go with http://www.ticalc.org/pub/83plus/basic/math/asolver.zip i've been using it for around 4 years, works great [:)].

ok, thanks for the suggestions, but before i download them i need to know if the programs work like the solver on the ti-86. I want it to be able to solve an equation thats not in standard for. I dont want to have to rearrange everything in the equation untill i have nice little coefficients to put in. I juts wanted to know this because i see how there could be some confusion between the two different types of "solvers".
