SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a solver program for the TI-83 and TI-83+ calculators that can solve quadratic equations without requiring the equations to be in standard form. Users recommend visiting ticalc.org for downloadable options, specifically highlighting equsolver.zip and asolver.zip as effective solutions. The latter has been used successfully by a user for four years, indicating its reliability and functionality similar to the TI-86 solver.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with TI-83 and TI-83+ calculator models
  • Understanding of quadratic equations and their forms
  • Basic knowledge of downloading and installing programs on calculators
  • Awareness of the differences between TI-83 and TI-86 solver functionalities
NEXT STEPS
  • Download and test equsolver.zip for quadratic equation solving
  • Explore asolver.zip for additional features and usability
  • Research the differences in solver capabilities between TI-83 and TI-86 calculators
  • Investigate user reviews and feedback on TI-83 solver programs on forums
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and anyone using TI-83 or TI-83+ calculators who need efficient tools for solving quadratic equations without rearranging them into standard form.

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 into the calculator

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 :smile:.

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 that's not in standard for. I don't want to have to rearrange everything in the equation until 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".
