    Program Ti-89
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on programming the TI-89 Titanium graphing calculator to convert Cartesian coordinates to spherical coordinates. The user seeks guidance on inputting multiple constants, such as z=ρ*cos(ψ) and x=ρ*sin(ψ)*cos(θ), without assigning them to a variable, as this leads to repetitive use of outdated inputs. The TI-89, a powerful tool for mathematics, science, and engineering, is widely used by high school and college students, often required by educators for various classes. Its capabilities extend beyond graphing, making it suitable for a range of mathematical problems.

Hey guys, I recently tried to program something to convert cartesian coordinates into spherical coordinates. I have been using the TI-89 Titanium and my limited programming ability to program it. I know of the temporary input function where x^2|x=2 makes the output 4, but how do I input multiple constants like z=ρ*cos(ψ) and x=ρ*sin(ψ)*cos(θ) without assigning it to a letter with the arrow → (because I know how to do that, except later it gets quite annoying when every time you use that letter, it keeps using the old inputs from the program >_<).

The TI-89 is a graphing calculator made by Texas Instruments. It is the successor to the TI-83 and is the first in the TI-89 series. The TI-89 is a powerful calculator that can be used for many different purposes. The TI-89 is a popular calculator used in the fields of mathematics, science, and engineering.

Although it is a graphing calculator, it can also be used for non-graphing related problems. The TI-89 is used by a large percentage of high school and college students. Many teachers in high school and college require their students to use a TI-89 in their classes. It is a common calculator for many middle school and high school math and science classes.
 
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
