Lesson 14
Introduction to NumSolve and Probability
Welcome
The ClassPad has two forms of memory. One is called flash memory and the other is called MCS which stands for memory control system. In this lesson, you will learn more about each memory area and how variables are stored. You will also learn how to use a simple application called NumSolve to solve equations and another simple application called Probability.
Lesson Goals
- To understand the meaning of global variables
- To understand the meaning of local variables
- To be able to access a variable using a path
In Lesson 14 you will learn how to:
- Store variables
- Delete variables
- Access variables from within other applications
- Input an equation with several variables
- Place lower and upper limits on variables
Upon completion of this lesson you will be able to answer the following questions:
- What application uses flash memory?
- Name two applications that can use a variable defined in the Main application.
- What happens when we define a variable in Main and then use the same variable name in NumSolve?
- How many unknowns can NumSolve solve for at one time?
- What do the lower and upper limits do in NumSolve?
Time Required
About 50 minutes.
