A user is seeking a solver program for the TI-83/83+ calculators that can solve quadratic equations without requiring them to be in standard form. Recommendations include downloading programs from ticalc.org, specifically the equation solver and an alternative math solver. There is a concern about whether these programs function similarly to the TI-86 solver, which allows for equations not in standard form. Users emphasize the importance of clarity in the capabilities of these solvers to avoid confusion. The discussion highlights the need for accessible tools for students using the TI-83 series.

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

If you go right away you will find one at the top of the listings here;

[edit]
Or directly download it 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 :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".
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
