Secant
Sep 30th
One of several Trig apps. This one displays how to find the secant as well as lets you plug the numbers in for the calculator to solve.
Russian Roulette
Sep 30th
I honestly couldn't remember if I wrote this one or not. But I misspelled the file name so I'm guessing I did. Its great to amuse friends with this.
Radians to Degrees

Quadratic Equation Solver
Sep 30th
Give it A, B, and C and it spews out all sorts of nifty info regarding the equation. This app was originally done on a TI-81 and perfected over time. If its a valid equation producing two real numbers, then it will let you know if its a parabola and if it opens up or down as well as the exact points it crosses the X axis and the vertex point.
Pathag – Pythagorean Equation Solver
Sep 30th
Although the files are misspelled, this is one of my favorite programs and was originally created on the TI-81 (this version uses the nav menu feature so its no longer TI-81 friendly). The help button shows you the equation in its standard triangular form as well as the graph/cicle form. Select which variable you wish to solve for and the program will prompt for the other two and then solve for the third (or the one you selected).
NegBin
Sep 30th
Negative binary representation. Takes a number and assumes its negative and then converts it to binary using 2's compliment and such. The 6 and 8…. are place markers to show the 8th bit and 16th bit. Handy for Discrete Math.
Morph
Sep 30th
This program always entertained me (doesn't take much, I know). It asks a range which defines how much of the calculator screen it uses as the display. This was done because setting it to 10 (or full screen) can take some time to produce cool patterns (don't worry though – it will). Change the range to suit your mood. Black lights not included. The patterns are created by randomly toggling pixels on and off. Press Enter at any time to quit (it will leave you in graph mode). Oh, with out the range parameter, this program is not too difficult to memorize. Once memorized, find your favorite TI store and plop it on there (I've only done this once or twice). You will impress your friends and family as well as kill the poor batteries. You didn't hear this from me though… This program requires Clear Axis to be installed.
Mobile 2
Sep 30th
Here's what the test mule (named Mobile) turned into. I must say this game is sucks and is not complete (nor do I intend to complete it). The idea is you have to find the portal within so many moves (I think). Use the 4 arrow buttons and 2nd to exit.
Mobile
Sep 30th
The train of thought says this was a test mule for a possible game idea I had. It allows you to move the 'O' around using the 4 arrow keys. Press 2nd to exit.
KM – Knots to miles per hour
Sep 30th
Converts knots to miles per hour and then figures out the mach speed (doesn't take into account altitude). Handy for quick referencing speed in your favorite flight sim.
