Scientific
notation
(powers of 10)
Example
4 -7
A number like 5x10 or 3.21 x 10 is written in scientific
notation, that is, in terms of powers of ten. This is simpler to
work with than 50000 or 0.000000321. To enter numbers like
these, use eex. (This is easier than using fxjlOfx^.)

Explicit and
implicit
multiplication
HINT
Implied multiplication takes place when two operands appear
with no operator in between. If you enter AB, for example, the
result is A*B.
However, for clarity, it is better to include the multiplication
sign where you expect multiplication in an expression. It is
clearest to enter AB as A*B.
Implied multiplication will not always work as expected. For
example, entering A {B+4 ) will not give A* (B+4). Instead
an error message is displayed: “Invalid User Function”. This
is because the calculator interprets A (B+4) as meaning
‘evaluate function A at the value B+4’, and function A does
not exist. When in doubt, insert the * sign manually.
